What exactly is a divorce?  In technical legal terms a divorce is the dissolution of a marriage,Tulsa Lawyer - What Exactly Is A Divorce? Articles the formal official dissolution of a marriage.  Of course the technical legal description fails to tell the whole story about what exactly a divorce is.

To understand what a divorce is exactly, you have to first look at a marriage.  In technical legal terms a marriage is the ‘legal binding’ of two individuals to form a contract.  Of course, describing a marriage as a ‘legal contract’ is no way to describe a marriage.  In practicality, a marriage represents the binding (union) of two lives.  It represents the coming together of two lives, a lot of hope, a lot of dreams, and a lot of emotions.

A divorce on the other is hand the exact opposite.  It represents the negative (reverse) of most everything that a marriage represents:

Number One: Dissolution Of The Marriage.  Again just like we stated above, in technical legal terms the divorce represents the dissolution of the marriage.  It is the breaking of a legally binding contract between two consenting parties.

Number Two:  Separation Of Two Lives.  When a married couple divorces, they will separate (most of the time).  The two individuals will then have to make the adjustment from living in a married home to now living in a single home.

Number Three:  Broken Dreams.  Most every person who marries does so with the intention of building a great future together with their spouse.  When divorce happens, those dreams are broken.  The broken dreams add to the emotional volatility of the divorce process.
