Deadly divorce documentation delivery

Mr. Stephen D. Allen a 57-year-old lost his life while delivering divorce documentation to James Scott Whitler. The subject was being served with divorce papers and a restraining order. When the documents were brought up to the attention of Mr. Whitler he attacked the Sheriff Officer with a baseball bat and a knife. After disabling Mr Allen the father of 10 and 12 year old children turned on his kids and started strangling them. Eventually the authorities were able to subdue Mr. Whitler and he was arrested and taken to jail. This is an indication that not all divorced subjects can act civil and do what is right for the true victims of the circumstances. The true victims of divorce and separation are the children whom most often suffered consequences of their parents mistakes.

Divorcing parents and deadly violence

Divorcing parents and deadly violence
Some divorcing parents are completely against the separation of their family and often escalate in to deadly situations. The case of James Whitler from Loveland, Colorado gives us a close look at how different divorce situations can make some of us react hastily. A 45 year old man with a history of abusive relationships was unable to cope with his wife's willingness to proceed with a divorce. When Mr. Whitler was presented with the legal documentation on behalf of his wife, his reaction was of violence against his family and Stephen Allen who served him with the legal documents. This type of reaction is rare but it does take place. The case of Mr Whitler and Stephen Allen was tragically with deadly consequences because Mr. Allen was pronounced dead after been hit with a baseball bat by Mr. Whitler. This is another example of how some parents can be violent during a traumatic transition.

Children at risk with divorcing parents

The future of children with parents, who are going through divorce, can drastically be altered. Parents often forget the most important people during a disputable divorce. Mark D. Ratta teaches divorcing parents how to cope and deal with the legal issues and to protect their children. Mr. Ratta offers the classes to divorcing couples with the primary objective of helping the children. The clinical counselor’s objective is to allow parents to understand the importance of their children. Mr. Ratta is there to present different ways of approaching the incoming problems. One of the common issues is to bring the parents to a common understanding and focusing on the children. Often parents do what is best for them and not necessarily best for the children.

The divorce rate in US

The divorce rate in the United States is highly debatable due to its statistical figures and media reporting. According to the American for Divorce Reforms the average safe figure is between 40 and 50 percent. The statistics indicate divorce became popular in the late 40’s, slightly increasing and the 50’s and reaching its peak in the 60’s and 70’s and finally leveling off in the late 80’s. A study made by Barna Research Group found the following statistics from 3854 adults across the 48 of the 50

US States; 11 percent of the population is currently divorced, 25 percent of the adults have had at least one divorce during their life time. Contrary to what most people believe the Conservative Christian with strong faith beliefs showed higher divorce rate.

Same sex parents

The Guardia.co.uk reported the social changes in same sex marriages. United Kingdom allows the first civil partnership in the year of 2005. The purpose of this paragraph is to identify the possible and negative side effects of divorce regardless of who the parents are. There seems not be enough data to gage the negative effects on children who are the product of same sex parents. It is possible that children who are the products of this type of environment can feel the effects of divorce in a negative way. The children must be accustomed to the same sex parents and breaking that harmony could create stress. When parents are willing to work together for the benefit of the children, this gesture can only benefit all those involved.

Divorce children earn less money when adults

According to a recent post from United Press International MANSFIELD, Ohio, May 8 (UPI) adults of divorced parents can potentially earn less money than those who came from a non divorced household. Divorce has become a very common social phenomenon with devastating negative consequences for children. The children who are the product of divorced parents seem to pay the price for their parent’s misunderstandings. According to some statistics divorce is almost as high as fifty percent. The number of children who experience the difficult separation of their parents is growing at an alarming rate. The Study co-author Yongmin Sun of Ohio State University's Mansfield campus gives a new way of measuring the damage divorce causes to all those involved in a divorce. The correlation indicates that adults who are the product of divorced parents can potentially earn less money when fully employed.

Divorce and pre-existing conditions

The majority of the studies indicate children of divorced parents, earn less money when adults, often have social challenges in response for the lack of one parent or the other. At the same times fewer studies indicate that children can not have social challenges, and earn less money as adults due to the scars of parents divorce and separation. It is safe to say that most logical parents would agree that harmony, in the life of a divorce parents and children can only benefit all those involved. In some cases where harmony and understanding are prevalent it is possible for kids to develop some unwanted trades. The negative effects could also be attributed to pre-existing conditions and this can be debated. The study shown by the University of Illinois in Chicago states that not all cases of negative effects can be attributed to divorce and its side effects. It is safe to say that harmony and two parents working together would benefit a child’s life for a brighter future regardless of what any studies say.
