Everyone wants to be free from the pressures of life, but Divorce is NOT going to do that.

Alimony
Child Support
Part Time Parenting
Negotiating Schedules with x-wife
Losing friends and/or family who shame him
Household maintenance
Insurance and other finances

He has to deal with these things if he divorces AND he still has to deal with

Work
Balancing a chequebook
Rent
Health care

Divorcing does not take away life's challenges, it just adds more for the most part.

The freedom he wants left when he turned 21 and became a legal adult... And despite how he feels right now, divorce is NOT going to make him seventeen again.
