Press Release Summary: The rate at which married couples are filing for divorce
increased over 2007 proportionately beyond the rate of new marriages, according to a
study into relationship habits commissioned by think tank DivorceAdvisor.org

Press Release Body: Edinburgh, UK 8 February 2008 (Expresspressrelease ) - - The
number of marriages ending in divorce over the course of 2007 saw a sharp increase
above the number of new marriages, according to a study released today by industry
resource site DivorceAdvisor.org. According to the figures published by
DivorceAdvisor.org, the number of divorce cases heard over the last year was up by
12% on 2006 as more and more couples choose to judicially end their marriage.

Amongst some of the more significant reasons for the rise in divorce
cases is a changing attitude in society to marriage and divorce, according to
Graeme Churchill, from DivorceAdvisor.org.

\"Marriage today is a whole different institution from what was once the case. Fifty
years ago divorce would be seen as scandalous - now it\'s common for a large
percentage of the population to be married several times over through the course of
their lifetime. It\'s all to do with changing values and changes in the way we live
our lives.\"

The report, commissioned by DivorceAdvisor.org also reflected that whilst divorces
were up, so to the number of weddings and civil ceremonies conducted over the course
of the year had also shown a rise of some 5% from the findings of the 2006 study.
