Divorce Is Stressful — Today’s Policy Climate Makes It Worse
Divorce is never easy. But right now, it’s harder than ever.
A recent Axios article paints a sobering picture: job losses, economic shifts, and legal uncertainty are triggering spikes in alimony requests, child care disputes, and custody complications in places like Washington, D.C.
And it’s not just Washington—families everywhere are feeling the strain.
Why Divorce Is Getting More Complicated
From a financial standpoint, divorce is a delicate balancing act. But today’s environment is changing the rules in real time.
Here’s what’s adding pressure:
Layoffs are leading to more alimony demands, often from the spouse who suddenly loses income.
Shared custody is clashing with workplace demands, especially when one parent is required back in-office.
Housing instability—caused by rising rates or unequal access to credit—makes it harder to reach fair financial agreements.
And the emotional toll? It’s exhausting.
That’s where managing child support and alimony more proactively can make all the difference.
