One consequence of our often inequitable and corrupt family law system is the enduring health cost of a hostile divorce. No surprise here - I only wish litigants and lawyers who commit unethical and criminal acts during the divorce process would realize upfront the impact of their actions.
Ending a marriage is often a stressful experience, but the level of hostility between partners can have a lasting impact on their physical and mental well-being. A recent study published in the British Journal of Health Psychology tracked individuals over a ten-year period, revealing that those who experience high-conflict divorces frequently use more medical services both before and after their split. By tracking healthcare patterns, this research suggests that relationship dissolution is not just an isolated event but an extended process that begins taking a toll on health long before the marriage officially ends.
