There has been a great deal of research into most aspects of marriage and divorce. One of those aspects is the health of the parties involved. Research has shown for some time that marriage can have health benefits for both men and women.

A new study however, has shown the effect of divorce on health. According to the study, people age 51 to 61 who have divorced or been widowed suffer about 20% more health problems than others. This is likely linked to mental anguish and depression associated with the divorce process.

Researchers do not, however, believe that divorce does not have its benefits. In some cases, divorce can be your best option. If you are considering divorce, contact the Orlando divorce attorneys of the Schlegel Law Group at 888-872-6249.
