Don't forget... the facts you pointed out is by year, not by overall.

Let's look at 10 couples. All got married between 1999 and 2001. 1 couple got divorced in 2002, another in 2003, another in 2005, another in 2006, and another in 2008. If you were to look at it by year... that's less than 10%. Overall, it's still 50%.

Read further down... you'll find the overall rate.

"As of 2003, 43.7% of custodial mothers and 56.2% of custodial fathers were either separated or divorced."
