The Big Bang Theory Actress Mayim Bialik Announces Divorce from Husband Michael Stone

By Nottage and Ward on December 5, 2012

Mayim Bialik, former Blossom star and actress on the sitcom The Big Bang Theory, announced that she and her husband of nine years, Michael Stone, are getting a divorce, according to The Huffington Post. The couple has two young sons.

There has been a lot of speculation about the reason for the couple’s decision, the most popular of which involves parenting styles. Mayim Bialik is a proponent of attachment parenting, a philosophy centered around forming close bonds with children through near-constant physical contact. The philosophy encourages co-sleeping, carrying babies in slings as opposed to strollers, and prolonged breastfeeding. Bialik even published a book on the subject, but says that the parenting philosophy did not play a role in their decision to divorce. She stated that “relationships are complicated no matter what style of parenting you choose.”

It is true that there are a variety of reasons why couples choose to divorce and as each couple is unique, the reasons for divorce will also be unique. Regardless of the reason, however, divorce is often necessary for the well-being of a family. It is a difficult decision and will be a difficult process, but with experienced legal representation, you may avoid any unnecessary stress and drama.
