The US Census Bureau has just published the statistics that show Nevada has a 14.2 % divorce rate, the highest in the United States.
Others may blame gambling, alcoholism, and other temptations for
Nevada’s high divorce rate amongst residents, and certainly those may
be contributing factors, however I believe that Nevada has the highest
divorce rate in the Nation for other reasons.
One
other reason for the high divorce rate, besides blaming Nevada’s
industry, is that the nationwide economy has hit Las Vegas hard. Nevada’s real estate values took a nosedive. Homes that were selling for a half million dollars a few years ago are selling for a quarter of that, or less, now. Manipulation
of interest rates, unscrupulous lenders, and real estate buyers that
did not understand their own mortgages and the impending bubble burst,
has caused a tremendous financial crisis for many families, putting
stress on marriages to the point of divorce.
But, I don’t even blame that for Nevada’s highest divorce rate. I believe that Nevada consistently has a high divorce rate because our laws make divorcing here easy. Other States want to force people to be legally married for months, or even years, after the couple decides it ain’t working. Those States do not value freedom of association or privacy very highly. The governments of those States believe that they have an interest in your marriage and want to make your divorce difficult. This is one reason many States require blood tests and publication of notices prior to marriage.
Folks in the know, who can, move to Las Vegas to get divorced. You have to become a resident here in order to do so, but that is easy to do. You simply must live here for six weeks with an intention to remain indefinitely. You must show the court some paperwork that suggests this fact when you file for divorce. Only one person of the divorcing couple needs move here, and can live in a weekly or a month-to-month dwelling. If
there are no children involved, and very little property to fight over,
the divorce is swift, inexpensive, and relatively noninvasive.
