Board Certified Family Law Specialist Matt Arnold of Arnold & Smith, PLLC answers the question “I’m not getting along with my husband. We’ve been married two weeks and it was a mistake. Can’t I just get an annulment?”
If you are worried about the harm a divorce will do to your reputation and the reputation of your family, you are not alone. In fact, you may have something in common with royalty. Literally.
Numerous media outlets are reporting on rumblings emanating from Buckingham Palace, home to Great Britain’s royal family. After a decades-long affair and nine years of marriage, Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla Parker Bowles, appear to be headed towards divorce.
Across the pond, more than half of American marriages end in divorce. Most married Americans don’t have a queen for a mother or mother-in-law and perhaps they should be thankful for that. The Queen, according to reports, called Camilla a “complete disgrace” after Camilla allegedly threatened to spill Louie family secrets if the family didn’t agree to a $350 million divorce settlement.
Queen Elizabeth is said to dislike Camilla’s alleged propensity for drunkenness, and it is believed that her disappointment in Prince Charles and Camilla—whose title is Duchess of Cornwall—have led her to consider passing on the throne to Prince William—Charles’ eldest son—when her reign comes to an end. The Queen is said to be concerned about an issue that affects many married couples: family image.
