Divorces are on the rise again across the U.S. and in Southern Rhode
Island. Economic stability is giving unhappy couples confidence in
their ability to support themselves in separate households. Experts
credit the rebounding of the real estate market, improving unemployment
numbers and the healthy stock market for the increase in new divorce
filings. In recent years, many couples have felt forced to remain in
unhappy marriages because one or both spouses may have been unemployed
or fearful of a job layoff, or because the marital residence may have
been an “underwater” property, with no equity to divide in a marital
settlement agreement. The recovering economy also results in couples
having more disposable income and being able to hire family law
attorneys to represent them in long-awaited divorces.
