Divorce Rates Skyrocket in the U.S. Since Pandemic

Divorce rates have skyrocketed in the U.S. since the quarantine started, according to a legal services company.  Divorces have jumped 57% from February 13th to April 13th of this year . . . and newer marriages were the most likely to end.

It’s probably not the healthiest thing for a married couple to spend every single minute of every single day stuck indoors together.

According to new data from a legal services company, divorce rates have skyrocketed in the U.S. since the quarantine started.  Check this out . . .

1.  The number of people looking for divorces was 34% higher from March through June this year than it was during that period last year.

2.  Divorces jumped 57% from February 13th to April 13th of this year.

3.  The newer the marriage, the more it’s in trouble.  Out of the couples filing for divorce during the pandemic, 20% were newlyweds who got married earlier in 2020.  9% got married in 2019, 9% in 2018, 7% in 2017, and 7% in 2016.

4.  People in the South were two to three times more likely to look into divorce than people anywhere else in the country.
