APPLICANT FOR DIVORCE

Over the last 20 years, the proportion of joint applications for divorce has been increasing, while the proportion of applications by a one applicant has decreased. In 2010, the number of joint applications outnumbered male and female applications for the first time. In 2011 the proportion of joint applications increased again and remains the highest applicant type at 37.9% of all applications.
