Huffington Post Launches a "Divorce" Section
Stories for life after marriage
The Huffington Post has reported that it is developing a “divorce vertical,” dedicated to the topic of life after marriage. The premise, as the founding editor Nora Ephron puts it, “is that marriage is for some time but divorce is forever.”
“If you want to know about planning a wedding or things like that, there are so many places for people to go, but there isn’t one go-to place around divorce,” says Editor-in-Chief Arianna Huffington.
The section will be dedicated to topics like dating and raising children after divorce. And given that half of U.S. marriages doesn’t last, it makes sense that articles and input from contributors on the subject would be helpful and popular.
Huffington says part of her inspiration for the section was the feedback she got after writing a blog post on vacationing with her ex-husband.
In the story, she talked about co-parenting after divorce and focusing on what’s best for the kids, which in this case was taking a family vacation with just that — the whole family. The kids really benefited from seeing mom and dad getting along and being part of the same family trip.
I’ve had many similar experiences — my parents are divorced but pretty good friends. Even if they didn’t always have rosy feelings about each other, they worked at it and now, yes, they even take trips together to see us. Recently, they came for the weekend to take care of my son while my husband and I were away.
It’s a reality for many families and no doubt there’s a lot to say. I think the Huffington section is a great idea. What do you think?

My parents split when I was 14 and the best thing they ever did for my brother and I was to always remain civil, no matter what. As my mom said to me years later, “Sometimes it was hard but your father and I made you, our treasure, and we will always have that in common.
I think the site sounds like a terrific idea.
The main thing to do when starting up dating after divorce is to get back into casual conversation with women. Comment on the environment around you, and the rest comes naturally.
I think you should include divorce party items i.e. divorce album which I have a sample. Please advice if you are interested in more details
