Money Isn't Everything When it Comes to Relationships

According to the Honorable Anne Kass. (Ann Kass is a District Judge in the Second Judicial District State of New Mexico,) recently in her divorce court, a soon-to-be-ex-husband, told her he did not want the divorce to happen. He insisted he had been a good husband and father. As proof, he noted that he had provided all the money his wife and children needed to live materially-rich lives. 

This man believed that because he had provided money, he had met his responsibilities and obligations as a parent and spouse. This picture is incomplete. One must realize that in order to be a truly successful parent and spouse, time must also be set aside for other responsibilities. If one doesn't do this, (whether it be the husband or the wife,) there will be little or no attendance at school functions, no family recreational time or time just hanging out with the kids.

If "good provider" does not invest time in his family, he will not be considered a success at home, no matter how many cars he provides. "Good providers" often insist that they ought not be divorced if they don't want to be but  Judge Kass brings to light the point that when the divorce does occur, the family members often do not feel any particular regret as the "good provider" was absent most of the time anyway.

Her final view in matters such as these: "People need to know that money is not what it takes to keep a marriage intact. It takes time and energy and love."  If you are experiencing marital problems and are in need of an experienced  San Bernardino divorce attorney please feel free to contact our office today at 866-902-5290.
