Sounds like Questionable Cause . Marriage is associated with divorce (actually, a requirement) but marriage is not the cause (i.e., the reason for) divorce.

Yep. Could also be a Vacuous Truth, since even if it's true, it tells you nothing. E.g. if two incompatible partners marry, then divorce, their marriage was technically the reason they got a  divorce , since you can't divorce without being married. However, it isn't the reason they  got  divorced.

Do you think there's any fallacy in the following statement:

Doctor, doctor I’m addicted to brake fluid
• Nonsense man, you can stop anytime
