Increasing Divorce Rates May Indicate Economic Recovery

It may be hard to conceptualize initially, but the recent increase in the U.S. divorce rate may be a good thing for the county. Why? Because during times of economic decline, couples tend to forgo divorce as a poor economy often compounds the negative financial consequences that often accompany divorce. Additionally, because the national job market often suffers during times of economic decline, many couples who would otherwise seek a divorce remain married because the couples simply cannot afford to shoulder the costs associated with divorce, such as attorney’s fees, or because one or both spouses would not have the economic wherewithal to sustain a separate household  post-divorce.
