Survey shows more Canadians worried about money than children during divorce

Survey results of a recently released online poll shows that of 2100 Canadians, 2035 (94%) are most concerned about money when it comes to the divorce process. Only a surprising three per cent of respondents said children were their main concern, while 1.3 per cent and 1.2 per cent said emotional impact and legal concerns were what they were worried about, respectively. The survey data was compiled by an Ontario divorce strategy website.

Another end-of-August survey by the Association of Divorce Financial Planners that polled divorce professionals across Canada and the United States determined that the most common reasons for divorce is slowly drifting apart and the end of the child rearing process rather than more emotionally-straining issues like infidelity.

Both of these new surveys can shed light on alternative dispute resolution, a quickly growing method of dealing with divorce issues in a timely and less expensive manner than going to court. One popular method of alternative dispute resolution is collaborative law.

Collaborative law does not involve litigation and instead involves the spouses and their respective lawyers cooperating and negotiating to come to a resolution that benefits and is acceptable to both spouses.
