The latest survey held by Vanier Institute of the Family shows that 38 percent of married couples in Canada will divorce by their 30th wedding anniversary, and the divorce rate has been decreasing since the 1990s. An estimated 22% was recorded in Newfoundland and Labrador, while 48% in Quebec. The United States has 44% divorce rate. The myth that half of Canadian marriages end in divorce is suspiciously blamed to the miscalculation and dominance of American figures from the 1980s. Toronto’s York University emeritus sociology professor Anne-Marie Ambert said the conclusion that half of marriages end in divorce in US, since the 1980s, was also misconstrued with Canada’s divorce.

Before, most divorcing couples had been fighting over a house, a land, or a car. In recent months, the question “Who should get the house?” or “Who should get the property?” has turned “Who should pay the house?” or “Who should pay the debts?” Tue, 01 Dec 2009 09:41:10 +0100 http://www.divorceguide.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=434&Itemid=3 Maine may not be only the home of rich and famous, but this small state is swarmed by a large percentage of divorced men and women. Maine has gained much in divorce rate this year, while ranking close to Nevada as far as divorce is concerned. Paul Taylor of the Pew’s Social and Demographics Trend told The Maine Public Networking Network, "We were able to correlate high levels of divorce with the tendency of residents in the state to marry young, and there was a correlation there."

With more than 300,000 military women braved the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the percentage of divorce tripled compared to the male soldiers. According to report published by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America or IAVA, eleven percent of soldiers deployed in the war zone are composed of female veterans. This unnerving statistics gives an indication that the civic duties of women soldiers greatly affect their family life.

Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards Charlie and Denise’s bittersweet romance ended as the most outrageous celebrity divorce. The ex-couple’s nonstop brawls and rants have added spice to the divorce drama. Few years ago, Sheen and Richards’ wobbly marriage had been the scoop of tabloids and became more controversial after Sheen was involved in the Heidi Floss escort scandal. In 2006, Richards formally filed divorce because she could no longer endure her ex-husband’s behavior. The 17-page divorce filing accused Sheen for having involved in Internet pornography, gambling, and drugs. Moving forward, Sheen harangued his ex-wife a "f***ing c**t" and a "f***ing n****r" that heighten the thrill of the real-life divorce soap opera. The two have been battling over the custody of their two daughters, Sam and Lola, since 2006. 2. Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook Discovering her husband’s obsession to oral sex and pornography could be Christie Brinkley’s worst nightmare. The 2008 divorce proceedings became a lurid confession of Cook’s fondness to oral and cyber sex. Peter Cook divulged all his dirty laundry including his affair with assistant Diana Bianchi and his $3,000 monthly subscription to online porn. Also, Cook and Bianchi’s sex videos surfaced during the trial. After the sex twists on Brinkley and Cook’s divorce, the estranged couple has something to reopen. Cook reportedly mocked Brinkley over custody issues.

So, no matter how anticipated you are in getting divorce, it will be more ideal if you sit down, discuss things with your spouse, and reflect on the impact of divorce to you and your family before nudging down the papers. Ex-Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith said that young people have “incredibly high expectations” of marriage, but settlement and reconciliation between couples have become unachievable (probably for so many reasons).

People who have “shacked up” more likely lose affection and lower their commitment; thus, the relationship suffers and spurs to divorce. According to study conducted by University of Denver (http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/magazines/AllWoman/html/20090719T200000-0500_155747_OBS_COUPLES_LIVING_TOGETHER_HAVE_HIGHER_CHANCE_OF_DIVORCE.asp), 70 percent of couples in U.S are cohabitating before marrying and most of them reportedly lose faith in marriage—this could also explain why divorce is exaggeratingly rising in America.
