Divorce is the termination of marriage, my parents are divorced
Sorry to hear that, but what exactly does divorce mean? 
It means disolving the marriage under rule of law
I see, my uncle is divorced as well. Is it a widely occurring phenomenon? 
Yes very common, divorce laws vary by country but most require it to be a legal process
Understandable, is divorce law also a legal process in the U.S?
Yes its a legal process here and often involves child custody, visitation distribution of property
That makes sense, it is important for property to be distributed evenly. Does divorce also cause trauma for those involved? 
Yes and reasons for divorce can be personality clash, sexual incompatibility to adultery
That sounds very bad. Adultery is punishable by law right?
