It was always believed, in most parts of the civilised world, that if any two individuals are not being able to lead a happy and contended life together, if their differences seem insurmountable, then they should be granted the opportunity to disengage themselves from their partners.

Thus, as has already been clarified, divorce was not unknown in ancient human societies. However, most marriages in those times were arranged marriages. They had social sanction and the approval of elders.

In such circumstances, a divorce meant social disapproval. It was not termed a healthy practise to follow. The couples also took all possible precautions to make their marriages work. They went out of their way to keep marital harmony intact.

Fear of social disapproval and the reactions from family and friends, fear of even the possibility of being socially ostracized also had its effect on the couples of yore. Thus, even though divorce as such was not unknown, yet it was definitely uncommon.

So, it was that even if the marriages failed to fructify into harmonious relationships, most of the couples chose to still grin and bear it rather than face social ridicule. As a consequence, the divorce rate was very low. Separation from a spouse was also not a common thing.

However, as human society evolved, so did all the laws governing it. The increased participation of women in the workforce translated into greater clout for women. It was soon followed by the women’s liberation movements.

They advocated not only that greater amount of freedom should be granted to women but also that laws should also be made favourable to them. These movements had a great impact on the society and culture of their times.

As a consequence of the above mentioned factors and a more liberal attitude of both the governments and society, the divorce laws were also relaxed. The word divorce no longer had the same kind of stigma attached to it as was the case in the past.

Over the passage of time, the now relaxed divorce related laws were relaxed even further. It was opined that if the couple is not able to face the trials and tribulations of married life together, then they should be provided an honourable way out of their marriage.

The pain and difficulties faced by divorcing couples on account of lengthy and extended divorce proceedings were also a factor in prompting simpler divorce procedures. We had a situation where if the couple wanted to divorce then they could do so with ease.

The era of contested divorce was coming to an end. More and more divorce cases were collaborative in nature and only a miniscule minority of the cases was contested. This continues to be the situation even today.

As more and more single parent families started becoming the norm in British society, the stigma attached to the word divorce also decreased considerably. Today, divorce is no longer looked down upon in society and is an established part and parcel of the same.

Unfortunately though, all the above mentioned factors have given rise to a rather piquant situation. As the divorce laws have been relaxed to a great deal, to help the divorcing couples, marriage as an institution has come under assault.

In today’s day and age, an ever increasing number of marriages are ending in divorce. Most of the marriages break down in the first two years. The couple simply decides to go in for a collaborative divorce and the easier laws help them it through it.

All this is leading to a large number of disrupted families which have been torn apart on account of divorce. This is having a very negative impact on society as a whole. This is not what was initially visualised while relaxing the divorce procedures.

Perhaps time has come to once again tighten the laws and to make divorce a difficult proposition for married couples. This should definitely go a long way in checking the lop sided impact on the society, so that divorce may be granted in extreme cases only.

Seattle family law cases are governed by the rules of King County Superior Court. Under those rules, parties must attempt to mediate before going to trial. A family law mediation usually takes place at the office of a third-party, neutral Seattle family law attorney with whom the parties contract to help resolve the issues of their case. This attorney must be experienced in the nuances of Seattle family law so that he or she may advise each side as to how a judge is likely to rule if the case went to trial. The parties usually remain separate from each other during the mediation, and the mediator travels back and forth between each party’s station with offers and counter-offers from each side.

Not all counties in Washington State require mediation. Nevertheless, it is generally a good idea to at least attempt mediation before incurring the stress and expense of trial. Paying a Seattle family law lawyer to appear at trial can be very costly, and court trials are quite stressful. Furthermore, when parties separate, there is usually already a lot of stress in the relationship. The parties do not make good decisions about one another and sometimes hold onto animosity that keeps them from making agreements. Unfortunately, this stalemate can lead to less than desirable consequences, and your lawyer will have to charge you to argue for you in court.

However, it is also not wise to jump to settlement too soon. Often parties in Seattle family law disputes “just want things to be over” and will settle before making an informed decision.

Bankruptcy is provided by Federal Law and all the cases related to bankruptcy are handled in Federal Court. Basically it is a legally declared by the court in which any individual or the organization is unable to pay their debts, expenses, bills to their creditors. Those who are bankrupt can file bankruptcy in a way to stop their creditor to collect debt from them.

Chapter 7: Liquidation Bankruptcy & the changes under the new law

It would be very harder for some people to file bankruptcy now. Especially with higher income level category they are now no longer allowed to use chapter 7. They need to pay partial amount of their debt under chapter 13. Before filing a bankruptcy case all the debtors have to undergo for the credit counseling, budgeting and the debt management.  This law imposes on the lawyers too so it is very difficult to find an attorney to represent the bankruptcy case. Following are the changes in the Bankruptcy Law –
•    Under the old law many filers can choose the type of bankruptcy. Most of them were choosing Liquidation (Chapter 7 – Bankruptcy) over Repayment (Chapter 13 – Bankruptcy) because they proved beneficial for most of them. But under the new law, it would not be the case for the higher income group filers, the new law has prohibited from using chapter 7 bankruptcy for them.
•    Now the question arises about how you will define your income is high for filing under the bankruptcy. Under the new rules, the first step is to figure out your monthly income against the median income for a household for your size in your state to file in the chapter 7 bankruptcies. If it is less than that then you can file under chapter 7 and if it is not then you have to pass the means test. Another clause or the law in order to file for chapter 7.
•    The means test is to be done to calculate your disposable income and to see whether you have enough disposable income after deducting your expenses, debts, payments under chapter 13. If your income is high up to a certain limit  after deducting your expenses, debts and all then you are not eligible for chapter 7 and if it is less than the certain amount then you can file under chapter 7 bankruptcy.
•    Now the next step is the counseling from the approved agencies by the United States Trustee’s Office about the credit & debt counseling. Purpose behind this counseling is to see and give an idea about your need to file for bankruptcy.

Counseling is required even if it’s a repayment plan or for the debts that you are facing and you do not want to pay. If the agency come up with a repayment plan the agency proposes and you agree on that propose then you can submit it to the court along with the papers that you have completed the counseling process. Towards the end of your bankruptcy case, you will have to attend the last counseling session to learn about the personal financial management. After submitting the proof to the court you fulfilled this requirement.

These are the new changes in the bankruptcy law. There are other changes that can affect bankruptcy filers negatively. In short, debtors are at more risk of having their property taken and sold by the trustee or the authenticated person.
