        @BBCBreaking #recession is probably party to blame for this. Divorce is expensive in this country!

        @BBCBreaking would that be because people can't afford to get divorced?

        @BBCBreaking Is that due to reduced numbers of marriages in the first place. Surely one can't divorce if not already married?
