When writing a blog you never know if it will be popular or not.  I was surprised and don’t know why the Divorce Proverbs and Aphorisms has been so popular and the same with Acronyms.  I can only assume that people search for a Proverb or Acronym and the blog comes up. I did a Google search for QDRO and the blog did not come up but when I searched QDRO "center for divorce mediation" it came up on the first page.  I think that was just a little forced.  Parents are very concerned about child support so I can understand by Child Support is 3.  I was amused that Who Gets the Ring was 4.  Dementia and Divorce being 5th, may indicate a problem which is not getting enough attention.    I wanted to check the least popular but could not get that statistic.  Also note that none of my recent blogs made the list. Most recent and most popular was Divorce Mediation and Call Letters on February 8, 2012 and that had only 83 hits.  I guess this is also a function of age.  The longer the blog is up, the more hits it gets.  I was pleased that Dinosaurs Divorce which was in January 2012 had 86 hits.   

I found it interesting how many hits we got from outside the United States. See below. Why was Russia second?

United States-8481

Russia-612

Germany-604

United Kingdom-545

France-498

Canada-368

India-219

South Korea-180

Poland-153

Australia-121

The hits have some correlation with the list in order of most divorces in a country. See below.

1. United States
2. Puerto Rico   
3. Russia
4. United Kingdom
5. Denmark
6. New Zealand
