Divorce rates shift as every generation comes and passes. People are getting divorced whether they drop, spike, or plateau.

And as of 2022, the era with the highest divorce rate, perhaps unsurprisingly, is the baby boomer group (those born between 1946 – 1965).

Even today, the boomer generation now 65 years or over divorce rate has gone on to triple. We look at eight reasons why.

The critical reason boomers are the generation getting the most divorces is the sheer size of the demographic.
