The term marriage means the union of a woman and a man, and is defined by the Family Law. The same Act regulates the relations between parents and their children, children's rights, etc. Marriage can be concluded by civil or religious means and each of them has its own guidelines and requirements. However, there are more and more cases of people in whom marriage does not work, which is why they decide to divorce. An application for divorce can be submitted by one partner (with a lawsuit) or both can decide to do so and make the agreement. Every marriage is specific, so its divorce has its own peculiarities. The first and most important feature of any marriage is whether the spouses have children together, because the procedure of divorce depends on that. Nevertheless, the divorce process should go through calmly, without accusing or attacking the (former) partner. Also, if children are involved, parents should take great care not to hurt them, ie to continue to act like parents, even though they no longer live together.
