Although divorce has increased for all socioeconomic groups, those in disadvantaged groups have a higher incidence of divorce. Youthful marriage, low educational level, low income, not having religious affliction, having parents who are divorced, and having a baby before marriage are associated with increases in divorce
~Popenoe & Whitehead ~
If a divorce is going to occur, it usually takes places early in a marriage; most occur in the fifth to tenth year of marriage
