A new study commissioned by Wakefield on behalf of the New York Association of Collaborative Professionals reveals one in five Americans, as in 48 million, know someone who got so caught up in 'winning' a divorce that their family, work or social life suffered.
The independent poll of 1,000 Americans also exposed demographic differences concerning what is often referred to as a "nasty" divorce:
| |
- More to lose…or win: Americans with higher household incomes (at or above $50,000) were more likely to have witnessed someone suffer trying to "win" their divorce.
- Sandwich generation, feeling the squeeze: Respondents ages 35-54 were most likely to know someone who got so caught up in 'winning' their divorce that their family life, work life, or social life suffered. In addition, a 2007 survey by The American Psychological Association revealed 83% of women in this same age bracket said relationships with their spouse, children and family are the top source of their stress.
- No child's play: With or without children of their own, respondents were nearly equally likely (20% vs. 22%) to know someone who was negatively impacted by trying to 'win' a divorce.
