Divorce experts in the UK claim that the World Cup actually helped out marriages because while England may have failed at the Cup; the divorce rate dropped during the first month of the Cup as couples perhaps found new common ground they could agree on.
The results were released by Divorce-Online.co.uk which deals with about one out of every twenty divorces in Wales and England. The website reported that there was a 35% drop in cases during the month of the cup, which also was seen by the fewer amount of divorce search queries on Google during the World Cup.
However, the figures are a sharp contrast to Government figures that show the amount of divorces officially finalized increasing by 6% over the first three months of the year by about 2,000.
Director of Divorce-Online, Mark Keenan, stated that the lull in divorces is temporary as the economic upturn will now make it more financial viable for couples to consider getting a divorce. Keenan also believes that 2010 will close with a high divorce rate not yet seen.
He explained that couples over the past few years have wanted a divorce but could not afford it, but now that there is a better chance of selling a home or finding mortgage funding it is much more likely that there will be a sharp increase in the divorce rate.
At the moment divorce rates are at the lowest rate seen since the 70’s.
