Divorce Stats Indicate Increased Number of Divorces in Major U.S. Cities and States

January 14, 2016

These days, more and more couples are making the tough call to end their marriages and move on with their lives, according to data from MooseRoots.com, a genealogy research engine.

Across the U.S., the population of divorced couples continues to rise. MooseRoots researchers examined data compiled by multiple sources, including the U.S. Census Bureau, and found that divorce is trending upward in every U.S. state, including New York, as well as many major cities.

Between 1970 and 2010, researchers learned, the total percentage of the U.S. population that has gotten divorced increased from 3.4 percent to 10.5 percent. In New York, the percentage of divorced population is less than eight percent, significantly lower than the national average.

However, the trend is still headed in the direction of more divorces, with the percentage of divorced individuals residing in NY nearly tripling since 1970.

Researchers at divorce.com have found that approximately 50 percent of all married couples in the United States eventually decide to end their unions. This suggests that anyone who gets married, regardless of where they live, could one day be headed to divorce court. The most important thing to keep in mind is that while divorce is surely an emotional process, it isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s an opportunity for you achieve your goals and move on from a difficult period in your life.

I was living a nightmare of being falsely accused in a judicial system that considers all fathers to be dead beat dads until proven innocent. Living out of state and facing the possibility of jail, I miraculously found Jon’s website and called his office. Within a week the tables were turned, the lies were exposed, and the harassment was stopped. If you need someone that will challenge the system, then you need Jonathan Katz. Greg Weaver

Jon’s integrity towards his clients is what makes him a standout attorney. He makes it a priority to know what's important to you. You’re not just a number. He is upfront with you right from the start. He will not string you along just for his financial benefit. He is only willing to settle the case if that's truly what you want. Anytime I called him I received a call back from him that day. Not someone else in the office. He is an attorney that has a passion for what's important to his clients. John Morrissey

Being a single mom, I had enough stress in my life. I had no idea how to go about protecting myself. My daughters were my priority. Jon walked me through the process. He turned a difficult time into a workable solution. Diane Chiriani

Jon thinks well, works to be clear and honest. He works to get to a strong argument. He seems to have a good working relationship with everybody at the courthouse. I get the feeling he has no trouble thinking like a judge. He is friendly and courteous. He doesn't overbill. He takes and returns calls promptly. His legal staff is friendly and competent. What's not to like? Rick S.

I liked that there was always transparency throughout my case. Genevieve H.
