According to this source, New Zealand has the 6th highest divorce rate in the world.

In several countries the overall numbers of divorces are slightly reducing just recently. However this is primarily because the number of marriages are reducing.

At the same time the amount of traffic on the internet shows that men are discussing the sexist injustices of divorce more and more.

Here is one such article:
“Consider this: statistically, the first person to file for divorce usually wins. While 70% of all divorces are initiated by women, 85 to 90% of custody awards go to the women. The numbers alone reveal the ugly truth when it comes to men: marriage has become a gamble in which the odds are heavily against us.

Family courts have become synonymous with tragedy and injustice. Once made to protect women from deadbeat dads, these courts are making a mockery of fairness by being instruments of disgrace for men and families.”
