## Resource

How do you know when it's time to file for divorce? It's one of the most common and most personal questions family law attorneys hear. In this episode of the Oxendine Law Podcast, Jarrod Oxendine and Christine Palmer discuss the difficult process of deciding whether to stay in a marriage or move forward with divorce. They explore the questions people should be asking themselves, including whether they are staying out of love, hope, fear, comfort, or simply because change feels overwhelming. The conversation covers common reasons people stay in unhappy marriages, such as concerns about children, financial uncertainty, fear of being alone, and worries about what family and friends might think. Jared and Christine also discuss the importance of honest self-reflection, recognizing when counseling is being approached in good faith, and making decisions from a place of clarity rather than fear. Drawing from both professional experience and personal insight, they offer practical guidance for anyone struggling with one of life's most difficult decisions.
