"How do I ask my spouse for a divorce?"

The best advice is not to ask your spouse for a divorce. Tell your spouse that you are getting a divorce and, in fact, have hired a divorce lawyer to file suit.

It's time to take charge of your life. If you ask your spouse for a divorce, what are you going to do if he or she says, "No, I am not giving you a divorce"? That determination doesn't rest with your spouse: it rests with the courts. The divorce process is a severance of a relationship. Whether your marriage is short-term or long-term, the severance of the relationship means that you will continue your life without your spouse. Start the process of independence by telling your spouse you are getting a divorce as opposed to asking your spouse for it.
