California Divorce Statistics (compiled, sourced)

This dataset compiles 48 sourced California and U.S. divorce statistics: refined divorce rates by state, court filing volumes, trial vs. non-trial resolution rates, filing fees, attorney costs, age at divorce, marriage duration, and self-help court usage. Every figure is transcribed directly from two Virdix articles and traces back to its original named public source (Census Bureau ACS via NCFMR, CDC/NCHS, Judicial Council of California, Pew Research Center, Martindale-Nolo Research). Source articles: California Divorce Statistics (2026): Rates, Costs, and Trends (https://virdix.co/blog/california-divorce-statistics) and California Divorce by the Numbers (2026 Data Study) (https://virdix.co/blog/california-divorce-by-the-numbers). Columns: metric, value, unit, year, geography, source_name, source_url. Virdix (https://virdix.co) is a free, open-beta California divorce document preparation service and is not a law firm.
