Widely Held Misconceptions about Divorce

Until recently, divorce was highly stigmatized by society. This created an environment in which falsehoods about divorce were perpetuated, and individuals who are in unhappy marriages are sometimes held back by these divorce myths. The following are three widely held misconceptions about divorce.

• Most divorces are filed after an adulterous affair.
• More men than women initiate a divorce
• A divorce is likely to have significant adverse effects upon a woman’s standard of living and positive effects upon the man’s.

These statements represent the beliefs of many people, but they are not true. Adultery is cited in less than 1 in 5 divorces as the primary cause for the filing. Nearly 70% of all divorces are initiated by women, not men. While there is an appreciable effect on the financial circumstances of divorcees, the changes are less significant that has often been thought.
