Divorce Articles

Divorce is changing. In many countries, it's now common to do divorce paperwork online and never step into a courthouse. Courts are also seeing many more divorcing spouses represent themselves without a lawyer.

Of course, divorce has also become more common globally since the 1970s. This is because, in many places, divorcing is both easier and more accepted today.

In the United States, the divorce rate has actually been declining since it trended upward in the 70s and 80s. Still, roughly 40% of U.S. marriages end in divorce, per the Institute for Family Studies.
