The History of Divorces in the United States

Divorces in the United States are as as old as the original colonies and were originally knows as Colonial Divorces. Of course the meaning of a divorce was much different back in those days as it is now. This was not a common practice and it was frowned upon in the early days of the United States, where today it has become a very common occurrence with divorce rates hitting all time highs in recent years. Today there doesn’t need to be a reason for a divorce except that a person no longer wants to be married to another. In the early days of the United States, and colonial days, there needed to be a distinct reason for this action such as adultery or desertion of the marriage. Massachusetts has one of the earliest recorded colonial divorces that dates back to the early 1600’s. This was very rare indeed back in those days and it often carried a negative stigma and was frowned upon and often not granted by legislative bodies unless there was definitive evidence that a divorce needed to take place.
