40 To 50 hours might not sound like much in the legal profession, but it's enough to make a male less likely to split up with their partner, according to a recent study.
The study found that those who work less than 40 hours a week are in a higher-chance divorce bracket.
"The optimal work arrangement appears to be where the man works a 41-to-49-hour week," Wooden is reported to have said.
It might just be good news for lawyers, and their relationships, with Wooden denouncing the age-old idea that longer hours are detrimental to personal relationships: "There are few, if any, studies providing evidence of clear causal links between long work weeks - especially when worked by the husband - and subsequent marital separation or divorce," his study states.
