英格兰和威尔士国家统计局最新数据显示，2025年以离婚结束的平均婚姻时长达到13年，创下自1963年有记录以来的最高纪录1。这一数字相比1985年的历史低点8.9年增加了4.1年1。同年英格兰和威尔士共有105,002宗离婚，其中包括102,879对异性伴侣和2,123对同性伴侣1。同性伴侣离婚数量为自2014年同性婚姻合法化以来最高1。
生活成本危机被律师们指为婚姻延续时间拉长的主要原因1。律师Rebecca Aston-Jones表示："阻止人们追求离婚的主要因素之一是建立和维持两个独立家庭带来的巨大经济压力"1。许多不幸福的夫妻因此推迟了离婚决定1。为应对这一困境，律师们建议采用调解和仲裁等更便宜的替代方式来解决离婚纠纷1。整体离婚数量较历史峰值已显著下降，1980年代至2000年代早期离婚率曾达到每年约15万宗1。
The average length of marriages ending in divorce in England and Wales reached 13 years in 2025, marking the longest duration since records began in 1963.1 This represents a significant increase from the historic low of 8.9 years recorded in 1985, a rise of 4.1 years.1
Legal professionals attribute this trend primarily to the cost of living crisis, which has made the financial burden of establishing and maintaining two separate households prohibitively expensive for many unhappy couples. Rebecca Aston-Jones, a legal expert, explained that "one of the primary factors preventing people from pursuing divorce is the enormous economic pressure of setting up and sustaining two independent homes."1 England and Wales recorded 105,002 divorces in 2025, comprising 102,879 heterosexual couples and 2,123 same-sex couples.1 The number of same-sex divorces represents the highest figure since same-sex marriage became legal in 2014.1
The current divorce figures reflect a substantial decline from the peak years of the 1980s and early 2000s, when approximately 150,000 divorces were granted annually.1 Facing these economic pressures, legal professionals are advocating for more affordable alternatives to traditional litigation, including mediation and arbitration, to help couples navigate separation proceedings.1
