Family lawyers often deem the first working day back after the New Year break as being “Divorce Day”. This refers to the high number of divorce enquiries made on this day. Some people will have been thinking about the decision for a while. For others, the extra time spent with their spouse, the additional pressure on finances and the stress brought about by extra family members visiting, can push an already shaky relationship to breaking point.
Many people see the New Year as a chance to make a fresh start; away from the problems they may have faced in their relationship.
Last Resort
While divorce should be considered a last resort, a separation can allow people who are unhappy in their relationship to find peace of mind. If there are children involved, bringing an end to a toxic relationship can allow both parents to focus on the children, away from tension and arguments.
You may be tempted to seek a quick divorce offered over the internet, but these often cause more problems than they solve. It is unlikely to be in your best interests to seek a divorce without first considering the implications for your finances and child care arrangements.
