| | Divorce Statistics  Statistics 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. |
