Survey Finds -- Not Surprisingly -- Cheating is Leading Cause of Divorce

Greg's picture

When accounting firm Grant Thornton asked 100 UK divorce lawyers why their clients marriages were on the rocks, they reported that cheating was the most important reason.

Infidelity was blamed for 31% of the divorces the attorneys handled. Of those, 69% were because the husband cheated, with wives responsible for only the remaining 31%. The infidelity percentage was up 2% from 29% in 2005, which in turn was up 2% from the year before. Cheating was the single largest cause of divorce for the fourth year running.

Other reasons were "behavior" (17%); family strains (8%); personal decisions (4%); and emotional or physical abuse (4%). We can't tell what the other 36% of causes are.
