men as initiators of divorce  

Definition

  • Statistics show that women are much more likely to ask for a divorce from their husbands than men are to ask for divorce from their wives. The National Center for Health Statistics reports that from 1975 to 1988 in the United States, in families with children present, among those who filed for divorce, wives filed in approximately two-thirds of cases.
