Are 70% of Divorces Filed By Women?

  • Summary

  • Perhaps you've seen it all over social media: “70% of divorces are filed by women.” But as a researcher who loves digging into the details, I had to ask: REALLY?

    In today’s episode, I’m diving into the study behind this viral claim: Who Wants the Breakup? by Michael J. Rosenfeld. We’ll break down the who, what, when, where, and why of this research; explore the difference between wanting, initiating, and filing for divorce; and unpack how this stat has been oversimplified in headlines and social media posts.

    Join me as I separate fact from fiction, explain why the words we use matter, and share tips on how to spot research claims that might not be as true as they seem.
