Divorces are down, both nationally and locally

An article from AZ on the national trend toward fewer divorce filings can be found here.

In the article Tucson family law attorney Steve Centuori notes: "The two main reasons for divorce are finances and personal differences; finances being the top reason."

Many of his clients are signing up for mediation or counseling instead of rushing to divorce court.

"There's a lot of collaborating going on," he said. "Especially when there's a business involved."

The article further notes that although divorce filings are down requests for mediation are up.
