"Divorced" refers to the legal dissolution of a marriage between two individuals. This process typically involves a court proceeding where the terms of the separation, such as asset division, child custody, and support payments, are determined. Once finalized, both parties are no longer legally bound to each other. The reasons for divorce can vary widely, including issues like communication problems, infidelity, or financial disagreements. After a divorce, individuals may choose to remarry or remain single, and they often need to navigate new social and emotional landscapes as they adjust to their new status.
