Is marriage dissolution the new Hollywood trend? Katy Perry, Kobe Bryant, Zooey Deschanel, Mena Suvari and Kenny G are just some of the people that have recently headlined the news. As Missouri residents know, no one really wants to go through the process of a divorce; however, recently, another well-known couple has decided to call it quits.

According to reports, a hit reality star on the "Real Housewives of D.C" is getting a divorce. Sources say that Stacie Scott Turner and her husband, Jason Turner, have separated. The couple has been married for 14 years, and they have two children. The Turners are not the first couple from the former reality show to end their marriage.

Within the divorce process, one must deal with many financial and legal quandaries. Furthermore, resolutions involving children can also be tricky. Many divorces involve custody and visitation disputes over the kids. Usually, these battles can be ugly. Fortunately, sources note that the separation is amicable, and the couple will try to remain friends. According to an article, Stacie is committed to her family, and her primary concern is her children.

This reality couple is taking a very agreeable approach to their separation; however, this is not always the case. Beyond children-related issues, divorces involve property, debt and alimony matters. These are just some of the many concerns involved in the divorce settlement. Therefore, if you are confronting a recent divorce or separation, perhaps you want to speak to an attorney about your legal and financial options.
