A great deal of social science is focused on interpersonal relationships, especially matters of marriage and divorce. Researchers in Florida and elsewhere have conducted numerous studies concerning how one's marital status can affect the rest of an individual's life, and many conclusions about marriage and divorce have been made and embraced as truth. It is important to acknowledge, however, that our understanding of the world is always in flux, and that today's science can easily change yesterday's conclusions.
Millionaire couple fighting over divorce venue
For most Florida residents, the venue in which their divorce will take place is not an issue of contention. That said, there are cases in which a couple's residence is not so cut and dried.

Virtually all Florida residents are familiar with spousal support, where one spouse makes payments to the other spouse to provide financial assistance after a divorce.

Is it wise to postpone divorce until after the holidays?
As Christmas approaches, many Florida spouses are certain that the coming year will bring the formal end of their marriage. Even so, few will broach the subject with their partner over the holidays, choosing instead to postpone the matter until after the decorations have been stored and the presents put away. The urge to avoid discussing divorce during the holidays is understandable, but spouses should be prepared to move forward once the season has passed.
