damaging not only for the state but also for couples

damaging not only for the state but also for couples. 

Consider these figures: 

 

ð    US divorces cost the country $33 billion annually or $312.00 per household;

 

ð    The average divorce in America costs state and federal governments $30,000 in direct and indirect costs.  Direct costs to the state include child support enforcement, Medicaid payments, temporary assistance to needy families fund (TANF), food stamps and public housing assistance.[1]

 

ð    To the couple, divorce costs about $18,000 and this would include lost work productivity, relocation costs and legal fees that vary immensely, depending on the nature of the divorce and the situation of the couple.[2]

And what about the argument that divorce makes people happier after they leave a sad marriage?
