I have often wondered why AR has led the nation for so many years in the rate of divorces. But NV and WY are right behind AR.

Some of the factors that contribute to the high divorce rate in Arkansas are that 1) people tend to get married young in Arkansas; 2) Arkansas is a poor state and family income levels for most are far below national averages which contributes to marital tension; and, 3) It's easy to get divorced in Arkansas. Courts will grant divorces for pretty much anyone who asks for one for any reason and the waiting period before a court can grant a divorce is only thirty days after the divorce complaint has been filed. You get all these young people fighting over money problems or whatever who get mad and file for divorce and the marriage is over before they have a chance to cool off.
