As an innovative platform that allows users to easily—and securely—store and submit confidential information related to divorce and other legal proceedings, LegalLogs knows that the landscape of marriage is swiftly changing. Not only has technology impacted the way that divorce rulings are reached, but changing gender roles in marriage have altered the playing field when it comes to ending a partnership. As women continue to become greater family contributors, it is this demographic which may have more assets to protect in the event of a divorce. Men, on the other, hand, may find themselves battling for custody if they have taken on roles as “stay-at-home dads.”
According to a recent article from The Epoch Times, Washington D.C. economists Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers spoke at recent panel discussions sponsored by the New America Foundation. The two argued for new public policies in terms of addressing the economic concerns raised by an increase of married women in the workforce. However, LegalLogs notes that the arguments also played a critical role in how divorce may evolve in the near future.
For example, the article reveals, “A recent Pew Center report stated that women are the sole or primary breadwinners in 40 percent of American households with children under age 18. According to the report that analyzed U.S. Census data, the breadwinner women was made up two groups, of which 37 percent, or 5.1 million, were married mothers who earn more than their husbands, and 63 percent or 8.6 million were single mothers.” For LegalLogs, this could dramatically shift the paradigm of how cases are handled in the future of divorce.
In a recent press statement, LegalLogs explains, “As women earn more money, they are likely to generate the most assets—assets they would want to protect in the event of a divorce. Likewise, men who have provided childcare may feel entitled to gaining a portion of these assets in the event the marriage ends. In either scenario, each party will have to clearly document evidence that supports claims for financial settlements—and custody. The future of divorce is not going to be as gender-biased as it has been in the past.”
With a new marital landscape arising, it is clear that both parties in a divorce may have assets they want to protect and settlements they want to achieve. However, the article also notes that many couples may put off divorce due to the high costs of simply hiring a divorce attorney. Regarding costs in Maryland—area family law attorney Alex Pare tells The Epoch Times, “I’ve seen people pay hundreds of thousands of dollars, just to get divorced. The average cost of an uncontested divorce is between two and five thousand dollars.”
“LegalLogs understands that divorce is expensive, and that the results of a divorce can be even more disruptive—financially and emotionally. However, we do not believe that individuals should withhold from a divorce simply because they cannot afford it. If a party has just reasons for a divorce and can document them, it is essential that they build their case and present it to a trusted attorney in order to get the results they want. The LegalLogs platform is a great way to get a head start and confidentially document critical information that could provide one with a stronger case—it is a necessary tool for the next generation of divorce,” LegalLogs concludes in its press statement.
