Divorce Rate in Marion County Drops in 1947 Four Months
Marion county district court saw fewer divorces in the first four months of 1947 than in the same period of 1946. Thirty of forty-seven 1946 cases ended in decrees, while in 1947 only thirteen of twenty-eight had decrees by May 1, with eight 1946 dismissals. The 1946 peak for filings in Marion was 188, 159 in 1945, while 1947 may remain high if filings speed up. Iowa-wide trend shows a decline in divorces as veterans settle back with families, with 932 divorces in early 1946 vs 1,321 in early 1947 and 5,446 marriages in January–March 1947 compared to 6,841 in 1946. Record divorces were 9,673 in 1946. record marriages 48,352 in 1940.
