Florida divorce statistics continue to show about 90,000 divorce cases filed per year. For the first six months of 2007 (latest available numbers) there were just over 48,000 dissolution cases filed in Florida. This number is slightly lower than the same period in 2006.
The National Center for Health Statistics also follows marriage and divorce statistics. Their latest national numbers (2005) show that there were over 2.2 million marriages and a national divorce rate of 3.6 per 1,000 people - the lowest rate since 1970. Nevada had the highest divorce rate at 6.4.
The overall Florida divorce rate continues to fall from its high of 6.9 in 1990. Strangely, the highest divorce rates in Florida seem centered in Broward County. Pompano, Lauderhill, Hallandale, Hollywood, Davie, Ft. Lauderdale and Deerfield Beach all have divorce rates over 12%.
