Transnational couples, made up of a Taiwanese citizen and a foreign national, accounted for about 20 percent of Taiwan's divorces last year. According to the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting, and Statistics (DGBAS), 53,000 divorces were filed in 2015, seeing a measly 0.5 percent year-on-year increase.
