It is hard to get on the internet without coming across an article about the latest celebrity divorces. The most recent involves Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz, who announced their plan to divorce this week. The couple have one child resulting from their marriage, a son, Bronx, who is now 2 years old. There are minimal reports of conflict between the couple leading up to the announcement of their split. According to E!, "Ashlee is seeking joint legal custody but sole physical custody of Bronx, with child visitation rights for Pete. She is also seeking spousal support and is asking to restore her name to Ashlee Simpson."

Another newly-divorced couple is Kelsey and Camille Grammar. The Grammar's have been married since 1997 and have two children together. Kelsey and Camille also shared a property which has an estimated value of $20 million. According to MSN.com, "[the couple] will settle financial issues at a later date." To add to the drama, there are rumors that infidelity played a role in the split since Kelsey is now reporting that he plans to marry his new girlfriend sometime in February.

There are many things that must be considered before filing for divorce including, but certainly not limited to, residency and filing requirements, counseling and mediation requirements and determining child custody or child support. It is hard to imagine all the work that goes into filing for divorce when celebrity gossip makes getting a divorce seem like a quick and easy process. Unfortunately, that is far from the truth. In reality, a lot of time and emotional energy will be spent during and after your divorce, especially if there are children involved.
