It has been almost three decades since the boutique national law firm of Charles Jerome Ware, P.A., Attorneys & Counselors, was opened in Columbia, Howard County, Maryland. And, in those almost thirty years this highly regarded and extremely successful law firm has seen many clients come in for the same standard divorce reasons: a change in the lifestyles that come with having children, financial stress, cultural conflicts, and living in one of the wealthiest counties in the nation.
The reasons for divorce frequently are the same no matter the jurisdiction, and Howard County is no different in some sense. It's just that divorce is less common in Howard County than in others in Maryland.
At 7.5 % of the county's marriages, Howard County's divorce rate is not only lower than the National average of 10.4 percent and the state's average of 9.5%, it is in fact the lowest in Maryland. Carroll County is second in Maryland with 7.9 percent and Montgomery County is third with 8.0 percent.
According to U.S. Census Bureau survey estimates from 2005 through 2009, 10.4 % of people nationwide age 15 and older are divorced.
Apparently, prosperity can help make a marriage more successful, while poverty makes a marriage relationship more likely to fail. There appears to be no coincidence that Carroll County's median household income of $75,000 is well above the national average, and that both Howard County and Montgomery County are at the top as two of the most affluent jurisdictions in the United States.
Indeed, we can all agree that financial stresses, particularly in today's problematic economy, can contribute significantly to a married couple's discord and ultimate divorce.
