“The evidence that the pandemic might lead to an uptick in divorce rates came early this year.
By April, the interest in divorce had already increased by 34% in the US, with newer couples being the most likely to file for divorce. In fact, a full 20% of couples who had been married for five months or less sought divorce during this time period, compared with only 11% in 2019.
Some predict a continuation of this trend, anticipating that divorce rates will increase between 10% and 25% in the second half of the year.”
That’s some pretty bad news going into the holiday season, which can put stress on a relationship in the best of times. Throw in a year of pandemic and it’s a recipe for disaster.
Whether someone decides to get divorced or not (and we are not advocates of divorce in any way, shape, or form) they’re going to need support. They’re going to need a thinking partner. They’re going to need a CDC® Certified Divorce Coach.
