Divorce is associated with confusion, shock, pain, heartbreak, and the tragic end of fairytale love. Recently, there has been a shift towards an unusual American trend—celebrating divorce with divorce cakes. Talk of a bittersweet experience! Divorce is a significant life change that we should perhaps celebrate with sweet-tooth indulgence. While you enjoy the cake, think about your options and find the right attorney.
If you’re contemplating divorce, questions like “How do I get separated legally” often pop up. Or perhaps you’re the one who’s been served, and you’re wondering, “My spouse filed for divorce now what.” Whatever the case, research and understand the divorce laws and procedures applicable in your state or the state you married in. This part of the divorce process is critical. Divorce attorneys offer a wealth of information regarding these matters, so hire a good one! Sometimes you may be prompted to think about leaving the country after divorce, to start afresh, or get away from the mess. To be safe, consult your divorce attorney to ensure no adverse restrictions or implications, especially if kids are involved.
During the divorce process, you may develop curiosity about your ex-spouse’s legal strategy. Like many divorcees, you could ask, “Can I contact my husband’s attorney.” Even though the thought may cross your mind, keep it in there. Raise any curious questions to your attorney and allow them to communicate with your ex’s attorney professionally and in a way that won’t portray you as sneaky.
How are traditional divorce proceedings and child custody battles changing? A growing number of divorcing couples are choosing to end things on a positive note. More Americans are marking the ends of their marriages by celebrating, and some are even taking it as far as throwing divorce parties complete with divorce cakes. How did this get started, and are these parties just a passing fad?
How Actress Gwyneth Paltrow — And Her Conscious Uncoupling — Started It
Earlier this year, the actress announced her intentions to consciously uncouple from her then-husband Cold Play singer Chris Martin. In her statement, Paltrow revealed that the couple would take a unique spin on family Law. The duo opted out of terms like family divorce lawyers, divorce attorneys, and child-support attorneys. Instead, they chose to refer to their lawyers as uncoupling facilitators. They did not stop there, however. Paltrow and Martin also hosted an uncoupling ceremony. The actress wore a special all-white pantsuit, and Martin let their children, Apple and Moses, in song.
Although the start couple may have raised a considerable amount of eyebrows, they insist the decision was motivated by their children. “”We are parents first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children and we ask for their and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time,” Paltrow wrote.
Bakers Receive More Orders For Divorce Cakes
What does Paltrow and Martin’s decision have to do with the future of divorce and family law? Bakers report that, since their famous conscious uncoupling, more Americans are jumping on board …… and casting aside the negativity typically associated with divorce. ” “Event planners, bakers, lawyers and academics note the rise of ‘divorce parties’ over the last several years, many with cakes featuring weapon-wielding brides or gloomy black frosting on inverted tiers,” ABC News reports.
Divorce does not necessarily have to be a negative thing. More divorcees are following Paltrow and Martin’s example, and marking the end of their marriages with unconventional celebrations. More like this blog.
