Why do some couples choose a silent divorce?

Research carried out by Legal & General in October 2024 found that women’s household income falls by as much as twice as men after divorce. One of the most significant factors why some couples choose a silent divorce is financial stability.

Going through an actual divorce can lead to financial difficulties due to the costs of finding 2 new homes, and the practical and legal costs associated with divorce.

A silent divorce allows couples to preserve the family home, joint investments, retirement benefits, and manage debt more effectively together.
