The Difference between an Annulment and a Divorce

With Valentine’s Day in the middle of February, you would think it’s the most romantic month of the year. However, ironically, February seems to be the most active month for divorce. There’s even a little riddle devoted to the month of divorce: “Roses are red/ violets are blue/ I made a mistake in marrying you.” The reasons why February is the most active month for divorce are unidentified, but perhaps it’s because the expectations you have of your loved one is highest, and when your expectations are not met, your disappointment is also the highest.

Some other divorce statistics are provided below:

1)   The average cost of divorce is $18,400

2)   The average length of divorce process is 8 months.

3)   50% of marriages in the U.S. end in divorce.
