Divorce Papers > Divorce Statistics > Wisconsin Divorce Statistics

People get married with the expectation and hope to have someone in their lives with whom they can share all their joys as well as sorrows, living together in the same house and under the same roof. They wish that this special individual in their life would always extend their hand forward whenever the former is in distress or need, or lend a warm shoulder and support to comfort them and make them ease through the times of despair and sorrow. Having all these silent hopes in their hearts, human beings step into the institution of a marriage, however, it only proves otherwise at times. That is to say, often it is seen that when the going gets tough and the road ahead seems to be full of deadlocks and difficulties, at times rather than sticking together through thick and thin, couples are seen to part ways and step aside from each other. There seems to be no time available with the modern man to devote for solving issues among his family and especially to spend time with one's that are near and dear to them, with the result that before long things seem to drift apart and then the only best solution that seems to be there is to call it quits and go for a break up, or a divorce or a separation between the partners. The immense toll this modern nuisance has on the ones involved is something that comes into the picture much later, after the damage has already been done, especially in the minds of the innocent children, who have to go through all this trauma without any fault of theirs. Secondly, women these days are encouraged through various media, especially the internet as well as the television to adopt an independent frame of mind and this has done more evil than good, since women with their higher earning capacity do not acknowledge as well as feel the need to have a man in their lives to take care of all their daily needs of life, and so they do not fear opting for a divorce if things do not seem to work out with their husbands, since they are financially independent to look after themselves. However, as per the findings of a survey, it has been seen that there has been a major fall in the lifestyles of women, post divorce. The developed nations of the world have witnessed this trend more than the others, and the United States of America is one such nation, where the rate of divorce taking place daily is ever on the rise. The state of Wisconsin in the United States of America is no exception as the other states in the country too fall into this category, as proved by the recent Wisconsin Divorce Statistics.
