Divorce rates in England and Wales have fallen by 3.1% according to the latest figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). <\/p>\n
The results of the survey cover the period between 2013-2014 where there was a 3.1% fall in divorces from the figure recorded in 2013. <\/p>\n
With 2017 looming large on the horizon these figures may well change as new data comes in, however, there is still cause for optimism ahead of what is described as peak season for divorces following the Christmas holidays. <\/p>\n
Reasons given for the falling divorce rates include more couples co-habiting before getting married and thus ensuring that relationships are on a more stable footing and also couples leaving it later to get married. <\/p>\n
Younger couples are statistically more likely to divorce than those getting married later on in life, however, even in this age group divorce rates have fallen. Divorce rates in 2014 are lower than they were in 2004 for all age groups except women aged 55. <\/p>\n
The divorce rate currently stands at 9.3 divorces per thousand men and women with 60% of all divorces in England and Wales due to adultery or unreasonable behaviour. <\/p>\n
