The statistic alone doesn't tell the whole story. There are a host of tactical reasons for the woman making a self-protective move, such as the man expecting to continue cheating, drinking to excess, lying on the tax returns, gambling, etc—and still stay married; or the husband or his family having connections in the court system, so she needs to change the venue. Sometimes a man starts moving most of his assets to individual ownership or sharing money with a mistress, and the wife needs to put a stake in the ground by filing before all the assets get cleaned out. So many reasons.
