Divorce during COVID has become a growing concern in Australia. According to a recent article in the Herald Sun, the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown restrictions are expected to increase Australia’s divorce rate. Google searches for the term “divorce” reached their highest point in 12 months at the end of June. This spike also exceeded the usual increase seen after Christmas and New Year.
Victoria’s lockdown measures have taken a toll on many people. In difficult times, relationships can reach breaking point. The pandemic and ongoing job losses have added extra pressure. This pressure often pushes already struggling relationships further apart.
