More Couples Divorcing as Recession Eases

There has been an increase in the number of divorce cases in recent months. One possible reason for this happening is because of the recession becoming much less serious. It’s thought that several people who were in troubled marriages simply waited until the financial crises have eased slightly. People start to feel more comfortable in their abilities and future and so will start divorcing.

A previous employee of Disney World decided that it was the right time for her to divorce, and leave her partner. She explained to a Suffolk County Divorce Lawyer that she had been in a troubled marriage for several years before deciding to leave.

It has been explained that during the real estate boom a couple of years ago, her husband took some of the equity from their home to buy apartment units. The apartment units were bought through the spouses name to benefit from a better credit rating, it was explained. However, due to the financial crisis many of these apartments remained empty. This meant that unpaid rent notices and loan payments were quickly becoming out of control. The couple had no choice other than declare bankruptcy.

Many people in troubled marriages must have been waiting for the financial crisis to ease. When people start to feel more comfortable then they will then decide whether or not they want to divorce.

The facts have actually proved that this theory is correct. The figures obtained say that the number of family law or divorce cases in Orlando have increased by 12% in 2010. And in 2008, the number of divorces in the state had fallen by 5%. This does suggest that people are more concerned with surviving in lean times than they are divorcing and getting out of troubled relationships. Many people think that this is actually a little strange. One of the leading causes of divorce is actually because of financial stress. During the recession it would be much more likely that this stress would break up marriages, however this is not the case.
