Will Covid flip the long-running trend in Australian break-ups?

The divorce rate has been in decline in Australia for the last twenty years, but Covid has changed all that.

Laura Smith, a mother who recently split with her husband, tells us about the pressure Covid placed on her relationship and why her husband decided to walk out on her and her daughter.

Has Covid flipped the long-running trend in divorce rates in Australia…?
