Divorce Statistics

Twelve HoursStatistics about divorce are available by state.
Divorce statistics reports have consistently shown Oklahoma as being near the top among U.S. states in terms of divorce rate:

  • Divorce stats for 1990 showed Oklahoma in 3rd place with a divorce statistic of 7.7%
  • Divorce stats for 2005 showed Oklahoma in 4th place with a divorce statistic of 5.6%

    Divorce statistics are not mandated to be collected by counties, making it difficult to get extremely reliable data. Regardless of the rate of divorce in Oklahoma, divorce is definitely prevalent and a concern for many.

    The Oklahoma Marriage Initiative (OMI) was created in response to high divorce rates in order to provide support to those that choose marriage for themselves. The OMI is concerned with providing free services to those who want to marry and avoid divorce. It is about creating healthier, happier families in Oklahoma to ultimately have a positive impact on state divorce rates and statistics.
