Family law attorney, Lisa Helfend Meyer, has penned an article titled Second Marriage For Better or Worse in which she quotes the folllowing statistic.
"While about 41 percent of first marriages end in divorce, the picture is even gloomier for second acts where 60 percent of those marriages fail."
She ends the article by stating, "And whether it's the first, second or third time around, marriage is not like marriage in the movies unless it's the divorce in The War of the Roses."
