According to the results of an official inquiry, Xiamen has the highest divorce rate in Fujian. Most of the divorces were initiated by women, with about 70% of them having experienced infidelity in their marriages, making moral deficiency the most important cause of divorce.

As the evidence of infidelity is rarely rock solid, people who initiate the divorce may go through a great deal of trouble and expense proving that their spouses have committed adultery and are often disappointed with how little difference it makes with the judge. Divorce lawyers suggest people should be familiar with the condition of marital property so that they can get a satisfactory portion of shared property.

According to an early investigation, most of the young people in Xiamen thought domestic violence was intolerable and it totally crossed the divorce-worthy bottom-line. Still, it’s hard to account for domestic violence and most divorce lawyers suggest the aggrieved parties should protect all evidence carefully so they can provide the evidence to the court as needed.
