Divorce After Christmas?
Unfortunately, many marriages end shortly after Christmas.
Whether it’s the pressure of creating the perfect Christmas day, the stresses of the festive season impacting on an already strained relationship or a poor decision made under the influence of alcohol; many marriages come to an end at the start of January.
The first Monday after New Years, referred to by some as ‘D-Day’, see’s a spike in divorce applications so whether you are thinking of leaving your spouse or your other half has told you the marriage is over, the first response is usually an emotional one.
This can range from relief and happiness through to complete devastation however one thing is certain; the sooner you contact a law firm, the better.
Sara Plant, Head of Divorce and Family Law at Peter Lynn and Partners commented “The stresses of Christmas can be the final straw for many marriages and we regularly experience double the number of divorce enquiries the first week of January however the spike remains high throughout the month”.
Each divorce is different and whilst some are relatively straightforward and amicable, many become bitter battles which is why selecting the right law firm at the outset can make a difference not just to the whole process, but to the outcome.
