Andrea Mihos has decided to make it final. She reportedly filed for divorce from the two-time Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate, Christy Mihos. The wife claims that the husband, who is now living out of state, spent nearly all of the $25 million gained from the sale of his convenience stores. The money, she says, was spent on his two failed bids for governor and on a sexual addiction to prostitutes and strippers. She also indicated that between 2009 and today, she does not know for certain where all the money has gone.

According to Andrea, filing for divorce was an extremely sad day for her and her family. In the divorce hearing, she accused her husband of assault and threatening her life, and a restraining order was subsequently issued against the former politician.

Thinking about divorce can be overwhelming for some people. A divorce can sometimes vary the financial situation of a couple after it is finalized. Because of the economic instability in recent years, it is even more important to make sure you have a solid financial plan and are thinking about what your finances might be like after a divorce is settled.

Going through a divorce doesn't mean a Worcester couple has to struggle financially post-split. Speaking with an experienced divorce attorney might be a good first step.

More and more people are choosing to have children with their significant others, before they get married. This is according to a new study that shows cohabitation of parents is on the rise. Many people are choosing to forego marriage for whatever reason they choose, but still decide to have children and raise them together in the same house.

In fact, the number of women giving birth to children while living with, but not married to, their partner has increased 83 percent since 2002. While there could be many reasons for choosing not to marry, it is important to remember that parents, whether married or cohabitating, have options regarding child custody if they decide to break up. Many people might not know what resources are available or where to start in pursuing child custody if they haven't been married.

Many people can be overwhelmed with the idea of going through a divorce. They often think about all the paperwork and aren't sure where to start. Getting a jump start on organizing documents can be extremely helpful in preparing for a divorce.

People who are organized tend to come out better at the end of a Massachusetts divorce than those who are constantly scrambling to find documents they need. Being able to have documents you need at your fingertips will also help you better articulate your facts and figures during the divorce proceedings.
