Understanding the prevalence of divorce

On Behalf of | Apr 19, 2021 | Divorce |

If you are considering getting a divorce, or you are currently in the middle of ending your marriage, you need to realize that you are not alone. In fact, many people decide to call off their marriage each year and there are many different reasons why married couples split up. By realizing that divorce is not uncommon, you can focus on maintaining a positive attitude and navigating the process properly.

While ending your marriage, try to stay on good terms with your ex and avoid conflict, if possible. The manner in which you approach your divorce and go through the process can have a significant impact on your life down the road, especially if you have kids.

How many people get divorced each year?

According to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, data from 45 states and Washington D.C. shows that over 746,000 married couples ended their marriage over the course of 2019. For every 1,000 people in these states, 2.7 got divorced.

How can you stay positive during divorce?

For many people, divorce is overwhelming. Sometimes, people feel a sense of helplessness during their divorce, which can make it even harder for them to focus on their circumstances and protect their interests. Whether your marriage lasted for a relatively short period of time or lasted for decades, do not let negative emotions get in the way of your ability to move forward.

Focus on the future and the potential ways in which divorce could improve your life. Sometimes, both parties are able to secure a favorable outcome and parents can find common ground to minimize the impact of divorce on their children.
