Published 1 day, 3 hours ago
Description
The number of New Zealanders choosing to get divorced is outpacing those getting married.
Stats NZ data shows a 3% drop in marriages and civil unions last year compared to 2024.
In the same period, divorces were up 5%.
Family Lawyer Jeremy Sutton told Ryan Bridge marriages are more likely to end in divorce after 25 years.
He says if you're together for a longer period of time, you'll change and are more likely to get sick of each other.
