Divorce rate data and the demographic and social trends it reflects, state-level divorce law changes, research on the financial effects of divorce on households and children, co-parenting approaches and the legal proceedings that arise when assets or custody are contested are the recurring subjects in this coverage. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Phoenix are the metropolitan areas where divorce proceedings, family law practice and the research institutions that study marital dissolution are most concentrated, and coverage draws on conditions in those cities when reporting on the national picture. No-fault divorce law and its evolution across states has generated a periodic legislative coverage thread as some states have revisited their statutes. The financial dimension of divorce — asset division, support obligations and the long-term economic effects on both parties — produces a sustained secondary coverage thread that connects family law to personal finance and broader economic reporting.
