Coronavirus Quarantine Causes Divorce Rates To Increase By 50%

Coronavirus is creating chaos on everything including marriages. Divorce filings are 50% higher while couples are indoors practicing social distancing. 

Leading Manhattan family-law experts believe, the time couples are spending together while quarantined combined with finances are playing a big part in the filings.

Divorce attorney William D. Zabel, of Schulte Roth & Zabel, told Page Six, 

“We’ve had an increased amount of calls in the past week from people seeking representation for divorce proceedings, a 50 percent increase, and I have heard the same from my colleagues at other firms.”
