Couples can file for a divorce for all manner of reasons and since last April, spouses have been able to end things more amicably through a 'no fault divorce' after new legislation came into force.
But one divorce expert claims where you live might play a part in how likely you are to call time on your marriage - with the lowest rates of divorce in the North East. James Brien, founder of Easy Online Divorce, says he has seen an "unprecedented surge" in couples applying for online divorces every day so far in January - as the first working Monday of the year is dubbed 'Divorce Day' by UK lawyers, where they see a spike in inquiries.
James' research reveals that men from the South East are three times more likely to get divorced than their North-Eastern counterparts - while those in the county of Cornwall are more likely to have a lasting marriage.
