In 1988, a total of 79,872 divorces were granted in Canada. This was a 12.2% decrease from the 1987 total of 90,985, the highest ever in Canada. Divorce levels have been generally high in the late 1980s, but data for several more years are required before the impact of the 1985 Divorce Act can be accurately assessed. The 1988 divorce rate in Canada for married women aged 15 and over was 1,256 per 100,000. The highest rates occurred in Alberta (1,498) and British Columbia (1,407), and the lowest in Newfoundland (669) and Prince Edward Island (844). The average duration of marriages ending in divorce was 12.5 years. The largest number of divorces occurred after five years, followed by six and four years. Among divorces granted in 1988 under the 1985 divorce law, separation for not less than one year was cited as the grounds in almost nine out of ten cases. Of all children affected by custody orders for divorces granted under the 1985 law, 76% were awarded to the wife, 12% to the husband, 11% to joint custody, and fewer than 1% to a person other than the husband or wife.
