While multiple factors play a role in falling divorce rates, the costs of separation make going it alone a daunting prospect for many Canadians.

It's not just the affordability factor, either.

I've been with my partner for 8 years now. We've owned a home together for 5. She and her ex have yet to get divorced. There's been no meaningful impetus to drive them to do it: It doesn't change their relationship any further, it doesn't change her relationship with me at all, yet it costs a couple thousand bucks.

Why spend that on lawyers when you could spend it on car repairs, home upgrades, a plethora of takeout meals, or a vacation?

Cool! her ex owns 25% of your house. That's very generous of you.
