Case Review
The client married her boyfriend six years ago due to an unplanned pregnancy. As a remarried woman, she was betrayed and retaliated against by her husband. The couple later separated. The husband even cohabited with another member of the opposite sex while taking their 5-year-old child to live with them.
The client married her boyfriend six years ago due to an unplanned pregnancy. As a remarried woman, she was betrayed and retaliated against by her husband. The couple later separated. The husband even cohabited with another member of the opposite sex while taking their 5-year-old child to live with them.
The client was eager to save her family, yet she was at a loss when facing accusations from her husband and his family. Currently, her husband has filed a divorce lawsuit with the people’s court.
Attorney Li Xiaofei pointed out that many parties in divorce cases, especially female litigants, often fall into tangled worries when enduring an unhappy marriage caused by their spouse’s fault or being confronted with a divorce request from the other side.
In cases of this kind, female parties tend to be highly resistant to divorce and find it unacceptable. However, from the professional perspective of a marriage and family lawyer, such desperate clinging to a failing marriage is not advisable. When it comes to marriage, we should return to its essence, view divorce rationally, and make the most appropriate choice.
Now, many psychological experts and child education professionals hold the view that an unhealthy "intact family" may exert a more negative impact on children than a healthy single-parent family.
Therefore, Attorney Li Xiaofei reminds the public, especially women facing such dilemmas, to face marital issues squarely and handle them rationally. If either or both spouses no longer wish to live together and the marriage has essentially broken down, there is no need to cling to a relationship that is bound to end.
