[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's really emotionally easier if you wait, but it does spare them the hassles of the joint custody lifestyle for a few years, so that's something. Especially if they would have had to move and change schools. I wouldn't stay I stayed married "for" the kids, but there definitely have been years that I stayed married "because" of the kids. My marriage has been bad at times, but when I took a clear-eyed look at what life would actually be like as a divorced parent, it definitely motivated me to work on my marriage.[/quote] Exactly waiting til the kids turn 18 only makes it easier for the parents in terms of child support and custody. It still selfishly motivated.[/quote] It's a lot easier financially to wait. You no longer have to maintain a home large enough for the kids to live in, and you no longer have to care about school districts. Does saving money benefit the parents or the kids? I say both.[/quote]
