The California couple behind the same-sex marriage lawsuit that was filed against the state of California has filed for divorce.

In 2004, both women filed a lawsuit against the state so that gay and lesbian marriages would be allowed instead of outlawed. California overturned the ban on same-sex marriage in 2008, and before the voters put Proposition 8 into action, there were 18,000 same-sex couples that married.

The women behind this movement, now both 69, had been together for 14 years before they officially married in 2008. Now, they have been put into the spotlight, but this time it is for their impending divorce. They have chosen to go their separate ways, and do not believe that their divorce will have a negative impact on same-sex marriage.

Research released by the Census Bureau shows that men go through divorces at a later age than most women. According to the research, the most common age for men to get divorced fell between the ages of 35 and 54, compared to women, where the majority were divorced between 25 and 44.

The national divorce rate has been dropping since 1996, and has declined by five percent overall. Theories for the decrease have been centered around the recession. Financially, it is expensive to go through an entire divorce proceeding.

Poverty levels of individuals who went through a divorce were recorded, and show that 26 percent of divorced women were living below the poverty line, compared to 13 percent of divorced men.

Researchers at Michigan State University have found a link between the age of someone dealing with a divorce and poor health. The younger someone is that experiences a divorce, the more health problems they have, when compared to individuals who divorce at an older age.

The study shows that individuals who divorced between the ages of 35-41 developed more serious health conditions than those who divorced between 44 and 50. The researchers believe this is due to people being able to cope with divorce better at an older age.

According to the results, the younger divorced participants required more comfort and attention from their friends and family than those who were older than them. This dependency played into the health results as well, relating strongly to stress build-up.
