Truth The Real Divorce Rate First-time marriages: probably 20 to 25 percent have ended in divorce on average, Feldhahn revealed. Now, okay, thats still too high, but its a whole lot better than what people think it is. ...the 50 percent figure came from projections of what researchers thought the divorce rate would become as they watched the divorce numbers rising in the 1970s and early 1980s when states around the nation were passing no-fault divorce laws. But the divorce rate has been dropping, Feldhahn said. Weve never hit those numbers. Weve never gotten close. And its even lower among churchgoers, where a couples chance of divorcing is more likely in the single digits or teens.
