South Florida Divorce Attorney Eric N. Klein

Familial Relations and Divorce

It’s a simple truth that divorce is difficult. There are many different things that have to be decided. These decisions may include who gets the house, who gets to keep the children, what the visitation rights will be and how monetary arrangements will be decided. All of these things take place in the midst of an emotionally strained, high-strung living situation. In some marriages, one spouse or the other may have managed to establish close ties to their in-laws, making the social interaction between family members awkward after the divorce as taken place.

Many people feel that a clean break between extended family members must take place once a divorce is finalized. However, this doesn’t have to be the case. In the United States of America, it is that the law of the country that allows every person to act as an individual, without any obligation to family ties.

This means, depending on the relationship you have with your in-laws, you are still able to keep close ties with them if it feels comfortable. Of course, your emotions and the emotions of your in-laws may be negative for a while as there is always a grieving process when a significant change takes place in life.
