Is the Bad Economy Increasing or Decreasing the Divorce Rate?
Is the Bad Economy Increasing or Decreasing the Divorce Rate?
It certainly is an interesting question. I am sure that research will be done on this question in the future, but my guess is that the bad economy will increase the divorce rate eventually. There is the argument that people will not be able to afford a divorce, thereby decreasing the divorce rate. Maybe people will stay in a bad marriage because they know they cannot support themselves with a single income. And what happens if you can’t sell your house? Do you live with your ex-spouse for upwards of six to twelve months post-divorce just because the house hasn’t sold and no one can afford to keep it on their own?
These questions are the same questions plaguing many of the clients I represent and potential clients seeking advice. It is hard to know how long the country will be in this downward spiral, but as long as the housing market struggles, the decision to file for divorce may be a little more difficult.
