The divorce rate dropped by 45 percent during the early days of the pandemic (Balsamini 2020). Many couples took the lockdown as an opportunity to work on their marriage instead of getting a divorce. With law firms and government offices closed during the lockdown, those seeking to end their marriage were unable to do so. Over time this decline swung in the opposite direction resulting in a spike in divorces (Brock 2021). This spike has been attributed to a variety of factors, including stress from the pandemic, spending more time together, working from home, homeschooling challenges, and women being disproportionally responsible for the child and household tasks even though both partners worked from home (Fies 2020; Wilcox and Stone 2020).
