Some facts related to Kansas Divorce Statistics
During the 20th century, the incidence of divorce in Kansas increased with each decade. From 1951 onwards, the state recorded a dissolution rate (i.e. divorces + annulments) greater than the country. However, since 1991, there has been a decline in the Kansas dissolution rate. 42.1 percent of Kansas marriages that terminated in divorce or annulment in 2001, had experienced a marital life of 4 years or less. In the same year, 50 percent of the marriage dissolutions were related to only one minor child and overall 9,363 minor children had to suffer the impact of their parents’ dissolution.
