Virginia-Based Men’s Divorce Lawyer Recounts Lopsided Divorce Statistics Which Lean Towards Favoring Women

Divorce Lawyer Defending Men in Virginia

Virginia divorce lawyer Jason Swango of Virginia’s Swango Law long ago dedicated his career to helping the man of the family in instances where the family’s integrity and foundation may be threatened, or in danger of collapse.

More often than not, men end up on the short end of the stick by way of such things as child custody, alimony payments, and distribution of dividable monetary assets. In almost every single one of these instances, an overt and unjust measure of courtesy is extended to the female, where it is ultimately assumed that the male involved in the divorce will take on the brunt of the inconvenience and pressure that comes with such hostile and the lopsided terms.

While these are great terms for the divorcing wife, such outcomes are a far cry from justice, and hardly serve the man who paid his legal staff what was most likely good money to represent him so poorly and un-resourcefully. Better yet, in addition to the legal services that this man must have paid for with his hard-earned dollars, and in addition to the legal services of his wife as per the terms of the divorce, he will now have to come out of pocket for a inordinate threshold of years in supporting his ex-wife.

In 1999, the last year that the United States formally stopped collecting divorce statistic records, there were 8.4 marriages and 4.2 divorces per 1000 people in the population according to census figures. People between the ages of 25 and 39 make up 60% of all divorces, and it has been statistically proven that while over 1 million children are affected by divorce each year. As this number grows, approximately 1/3 of divorced parents detail that they remain bitter and hostile several years after the divorce for a variety of reasons. Many of them trace back to the failed relationship and the ultimate aftermath of the failed effort and lost time.

One quarter of all Americans have experienced at least one divorce. Today, more people are a part of second marriages than first marriages. In many of these cases, the man in the relationship was unfairly taken for a ride, and most likely ended up forfeiting a gross amount of income per year in alimony, for the sake of sparing himself argument and resistance from his soon-to-be ex spouse.

Virginia divorce lawyer Jason Swango makes it his duty to not only see the men who entrust their pursuits to his efforts successfully emerge from such a tense and unusual time in their lives, but also see that the proceedings of divorce are is as fair to the man as they should be.

Men bear the weight of the pressure of supporting their household, setting an example for their children, and providing a safe and stable home all around. When all of this is taken from him, the last thing he needs is an additional alimony payment that puts him in the broke house, or unfair terms that further complicate his life moving forward.
