Political Differences Spark Divorce

Couples divorce for many reasons. Some partners cannot compromise when it comes to finances. In other cases, one spouse cheats on the other. There are as many reasons for divorce as there are married couples. One reason that has made the news in Florida is a difference of political ideals.

According to reports, the spouse of a South Florida Democratic state prosecutor has filed for divorce because her husband doesn’t support President Trump. While chances are high that a difference of political opinion has resulted in several divorces, this is perhaps the first time it has made the news.

The wife of a Palm Beach County State Attorney filed for the divorce, stating it is amicable, because her husband does not support the President, while she claims to be a “staunch Republican” and supporter of Trump. Because of the difference in politics within the household, the woman has felt increasingly isolated in her marriage.

Media outlets have tagged this as “The Trump Divorce.” Reports indicate that the woman will receive a $100,000 settlement that includes $40,000 in cash and a new BMW.
