Studies show that in the United States, a divorce happens every 36 seconds. While the average marriage lasts about nine years, people tend to wait an average of up to four years before they remarry.

It is no secret that divorce is a stressful process. This is especially the case when children are involved. Considering that almost 50% of all first marriages and 60% of all second marriages end in divorce, many couples find themselves seeking child custody attorneys for child custody legal advice.
