Terry, Best wishes with all you are going through.
But I have to address the claim above. It just isn't accurate.
The U.S. Divorce Rate Has Hit a 50-Year Low.
Don't know where they get their stats but I found this on a lawfirms website:
"The idea half of marriages end in divorce was vaunted in the 1980s but research shows a decline in the rate of divorce in the ensuing decades. Not including those who get legally separated, the statistical breakdown is thus:
First Marriages: 42-45 percent will terminate with a divorce as the result.
Second Marriages: 60 percent will terminate with a divorce as the result.
Third Marriages: 73 percent will terminate with a divorce as the result.
Another way of viewing these statistics is:
22 percent of women have been divorced at least once.
21 percent of men have been divorced at least once.
11 percent of women are divorced at the present time.
9 percent of men are divorced at the present time.
The age breakdown of those obtaining a divorce looks thus:
Under 20: Women 27.6%, Men 11.7%
20 – 24: Women 36.6%, Men 38.8%
25 – 29: Women 16.4%, Men 22.3%
30 – 34: Women 8.5%, Men 11.6%
35 – 39: Women 5.1%, Men 6.5%"
