What are some common myths about divorce?

One of the most common myths is that primary custody is always granted to the mother, but that’s no longer the case; the courts conduct a thorough analysis to decide which parent should have primary custody; nothing is automatic. Another myth is that fighting in a divorce will bankrupt people; that doesn’t need to be the case, although people should be careful to hire attorneys who are trying to solve problems, not create more. Another common myth is that every case involves alimony, which is only awarded after a long marriage and if there is a significant difference in income.
