Cost of living keeps couples together as divorces after 20 years rise

  • Divorces after 20 years of marriage accounted for 26 per cent of opposite-sex cases in England and Wales last year.
  • The average marriage ending in divorce lasted 13 years, the longest since records began in 1963.
  • Lawyers say the cost of running two households can discourage couples from separating.

The seven-year itch may be fading as a defining feature of marriage breakdown, with official figures showing that couples in England and Wales are now more likely to divorce after 20 years together than at any other point in their marriage.
