Cuban Divorce



I wrote a blog about Mediation in Cuba on May                 2, 2008.  See it at http://centerfordivorcemediation.blogspot.com/search/label/Mediation%20in%20Cuba   I said that Divorce in Cuba is not as complicated as here. There are no issues dealing with health care or housing and there is a strong presumption that the Mother retains custody of the children.  It is worth discussing more.  See December 31, 2007 article in New York Times by the Associated Press entitled, “Divorce Is Easy in Cuba, but a Housing Shortage Makes Breaking Up Hard.”  The problem is housing.  You can get divorced but will have no place to live.  Will the gradual changes in the Cuban government change the housing shortage and will there be a corresponding increase in divorce?  Time will tell.
As always, you can post any comment about this blog or Divorce Mediation, or just Mediation by following the directions at the right in the green column or at the bottom of this website. Learn more about mediation at http://www.center-divorce-mediation.com/ CDM (274) 4/4/13
