The process of divorce also normally involves issues surrounding distribution of property, financial support of the former spouse, child custody and child support. A divorce also allows a person to marry again.In the United States, divorce is, like marriage, a matter for state governments, not the federal government.

Marriage in the U.S. While the number of married couples in the U.S. has increased in the past few decades, this could very well just be due to population change, since while the U.S. population has been increasing, the marriage rate has decreased significantly since 1990. In addition, the divorce rate has almost halved since 1990 despite concerns that more people are getting divorced than in years past. Same-sex marriage in the U.S. After years of advocacy, same-sex marriage became legal in the United States in June 2015.

Purpose and brief description The statistic includes all divorces recorded in the civil register of Belgian municipalities. As a result, this statistic also includes all divorces for marriages not contracted in Belgium and not included in the statistics on marriages. The registration of a divorce is done at the municipality where the marriage was contracted. If the marriage was contracted abroad, the divorce is entered in the register of the municipality of Brussels, which explains the special situation of this municipality in this matter. The various tables cover: the evolution of the number of divorces per region and per province, the divorces of the year broken down by age group and by region, by previous civil status and by region, by duration of the dissolved marriage and by region. They also cover the evolution of the number of divorced persons who were married to a person of the same sex. But this last table has another source. Population All divorces Frequency Annually Timing of publication Results available 8 months after the reference period. Definitions Nationality of the first spouse: Country of the first spouse’s nationality. Nationality of the second spouse: Country of the second spouse’s nationality.

Professional status of the first spouse: Professional situation of the first spouse (manager / self-employed / employee / worker / helper / without / unknown).

Remarks In the framework of the administrative simplification and in application of the Law of 5 May 2014 on the establishment of the principle of the unique data collection (Only Once), the Directorate-General Statistics – Statistics Belgium decided in 2015 to no longer use the bulletins of the FPS Home Affairs to produce statistics on marriages and divorces, but to use data from the National Register (RNPP) for this purpose. As a result of this source change, the marriage and divorce forms could be abolished (Royal Decree of 19 February 2016). But it also brought about important changes in the statistic produced: Registration of the gender of spouses, allowing a distinction to be made between types of marriages and divorces; Processing in a statistic in law of the events that took place abroad concerning persons residing in Belgium; The identification of divorces that have been granted and registered in Belgium and that put an end to the marriages that have been contracted abroad gives a better approach to divorces. 2016 is the first year in which the RNPP is the exclusive source of the statistic. But using the RNPP also makes it possible to produce comprehensive statistics for 2015, as well as a large number of data for 2014, which makes a comparison with previous statistics on civil status possible. In the case of divorces, the use of the RNPP makes it possible to identify those divorces that put an end to a marriage that was contracted abroad. The large majority of these marriages are registered in Brussels-Capital. In 2016, 3,666 divorces were granted in Belgium or abroad (15.5 % of the total), which put an end to the same number of marriages contracted abroad. They are therefore included in the calculation of the gross divorce rate, which has fallen slightly (2.1 ‰, for 2.2 ‰ in 2015); but they are excluded from the calculation of the total divorce rate.
