Study Claims Divorce Can Result in Illness

By Denver Divorce Lawyer on August 27, 2009

According to Bloomberg News, a recent study by the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention concluded that those people who experience divorce generally are more susceptible to health problems caused by the onset of stress. Health problems in this case included diabetes and even cancer. Statistically, divorced people suffer from chronic health problems nearly 20% more than those people who are married.

According to the National Institutes for Health, the divorce rate in the United States is just about 50%. Almost half of all couples married will go through a divorce at some point in their lives, and of that half, many of them will eventually divorce multiple times. With such high levels of stress associated with divorces, especially those divorces that are complicated and drawn out for longer than they should be, it’s no wonder that debilitating health effects are capable of taking a hold of an otherwise healthy adult.

Linda Waite, a sociologist at the University of Chicago, offered her opinion on the findings, suggesting that “the thing to keep in mind is that…marital status affects the chances of chronic conditions…[and] anything you can do to mitigate the effects of stress should help.” In all divorce cases, it is important to realize that there are sources that can offer significant assistance in making divorce proceeding as simple and smooth as possible. An experienced attorney will examine the details of a divorce proceeding, and work towards the best interests of the client.

Nas’s Pregnant Wife Files For Divorce

By Denver Divorce Lawyer on August 4, 2009

The website accessshollywood.com reported in an article that Kelis, wife of hip-hop star Nas, has filed for divorce after being married four years. An associate of Kelis confirmed the news to Access Hollywood.

The associate said, “I can confirm that she has filed for divorce. We request the media to respect her privacy during this very difficult time.”

Kelis gained fame with her popular song “Milkshake”, and filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Kelis is pregnant with their child, and is requesting spousal and child support.

In an interview with MTV News, Nas showed no signs of any marital problems.

Nas said, “She’s great man. She’s doing good. I’ve been thinking about kinda putting something online: ‘Choose his name.’ You get a couple of stacks for that. We take care of you for that. You win something real. But we’re thinking now.”

The couple was married in Atlanta in January 2005.

Many states view divorce differently and have different rules as to what may warrant a divorce. The State of Colorado follows a “no fault” divorce law, which means that either the husband or wife can request dissolution of marriage merely because the marriage is broken and they do not feel that the marriage can be repaired. The Colorado divorce attorneys at Kaplan Law can assist you in the division of personal items which were acquired during the marriage, as well as the determination of monthly spousal support, if warranted.
