Performing artists 'most likely to divorce' |
|
Dancers and choreographers are the profession most likely to divorce, new research has indicated, new research has indicated.
A study published in the Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology found that 40 per cent of this group will split up, while 28 per cent of marriages involving nurses will end early, Nursing Times reports.
This compares with 18 per cent for journalists and 17 per cent for dieticians and librarians, while just two per cent of agricultural engineers will endure such a separation.
Commenting on the high rate for nurses, chartered occupational psychologist Dai Williams said the trend may be because they "spend too long caring for other people at the cost of their own families".
Those who work in a profession with a high level of divorce may do well to see a family lawyer to arrange a prenuptial agreement.
Proposition director of insurance firm Bright Grey Roger Edwards recently wrote an article for the Financial Times in which he stated such agreements in the UK are no longer the preserve of the rich and famous.
