When couples in Texas are going through a divorce, there are a number of common mistakes they should try to avoid. One of those errors is failing to get paperwork in order. This might include Social Security statements showing the earning of both spouses, information on what was paid for various assets, account numbers and home improvement receipts. Some of this paperwork may be helpful after the divorce as well. For example, if the couple has been married for at least 10 years, one spouse might be able to draw Social Security retirement benefits on the other spouse's income.
Ranking common factors that contribute to the end of a marriage
Couples in Texas planning to exchange vows can take comfort in knowing that fewer people are ending their marriages these days. Even so, having a better understanding of the common reasons for divorce may help some married couples avoid potential pitfalls that could doom their relationships. In order to rank divorce-related factors, researchers interviewed couples who parted ways several years after completing a prevention and relationship enhancement program before they were wed.
