Work Addiction and Divorce
A healthy marriage requires each person to put in a fair share of time into the relationship, building trust and demonstrating care and regard for his or her spouse. However, many people become consumed with their jobs and may fail to adequately address their spouse’s emotional needs by constantly spending long hours at the office or constantly choosing work over family. This can put a severe strain on a marriage and it may become appropriate to consider filing for divorce.
If your spouse’s seemingly excessive commitment to his or her work life has led you to feel abandoned, we can help you to understand your legal options.

Problems with Workaholics
People who are seemingly addicted to their work are often referred to as workaholics. These individuals work long hours day and night, not giving their family the support that they need. If a person follows these behavior patterns, the following issues may arise:
- The other spouse may feel neglected
- Children may be effectively raised by only one spouse
- The work-obsessed spouse may rarely be home to help with emergencies
- The work-obsessed spouse may not be willing to help with physical disabilities
