I have seen the following number thrown around on a few Christian websites:

"The Internet was a significant factor in 2 out of 3 divorces (American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers in 2003)"
e.g. http://www.safefamilies.org/sfStats.php

However, I checked the cited source divorcewizards.com, but was unable to find any information on that number.

I'm suspicious about its accuracy as well, and I agree with you that the primary cause of divorce is still money. It should also be asked how often pornography is cited as a reason among couples because they personally cannot accept their own fiscal difficulties as a valid excuse to end a relationship.
