I looked on google trends and Oregon's stat page and couldn't confirm that its "surging": https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/BirthDeathCertificates/VitalStatistics/

  It isn't surging. A company selling downloadable "legal templates" is claiming a 34% increase in sales. This is a clickbait PR stunt masquerading as news.

    I'm inclined to agree. Assuming they aren't advertising more or some other obvious factor, people are generally a) stuck at home on electronic devices, b) afraid to go out to many places, and c) loss of income. Of course an online DIY divorce template seller is going to see sales rise.

    Well, partially. Divorce isn’t instant, legally or logistically. If divorce was going to spike, you’d expect leading indicators to rise in the weeks and months before hand, as couples begin to move from the “thinking about it” stage to the “printing paperwork” stage.
