It's no surprise that your likelihood of divorce is somewhat based on your relationship with money. Money is the leading cause of stress in a relationship, according to data from Northwestern Mutual's 2018 Planning & Progress Study. The survey of over 2,000 adults found that 41% of people said financial anxiety impacts their relationship with a spouse or partner. And the more money you have, the more problems you face (or so said the late rapper Notorious B.I.G.). Economic growth rose more than expected in the first quarter of the year, thanks to continuing strength in the labor market. As a result, incomes generally are higher across the board. That, in turn, has meant more couples are calling it quits, according to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. Divorces tend to pick up rather than decrease during an economic boom, the organization said.

"It's easier to swallow when your net worth is higher," said Michael Stutman, a past president of the New York Chapter of the AAML and a founding partner of the Manhattan-based matrimonial law firm of Stutman Stutman & Lichtenstein. Stutman said he has also seen a rise in high-net-worth divorce filings. "Essentially, people feel there's more money left over after they dissolve their marriage and split up the spoils," he said. By an almost 2-to-1 margin, lawyers polled by the academy said they typically only see a decline in the number of divorces during national economic downturns. When forced to weigh damaged marriages against tight budgets and uncertain financial outlooks, many spouses seem more willing to try and wait it out, the AAML found.
