Divorces increase as economy worsens
According to a recent article, divorce rates increase as the stock market plunges. While the article offers many explanations, I think the key explanation is that the lack of money during bad economic times highlights problems in an already troubled marriage. Money has always been a major factor in matrimonial harmony or the lack thereof. If you find yourself in such a situation, you need help. If your marriage can be saved, get help from a marriage counselor. However, if your marriage is beyond repair and divorce is imminent, seek legal advice to protect your legal, as well as financial, interests.
