The Peak of Divorce Season

Post-Holiday Emotional Recovery
After spending time with extended family during the holidays, people often feel more emotionally drained. If a marriage is struggling, the strain of managing family obligations and tensions can push someone to finally make the decision to seek a divorce.

Holiday Stress and Conflict
Some couples experience heightened conflict during the holidays due to stress, family visits, or the pressure of trying to create a perfect holiday. These conflicts can reach a breaking point in January, leading people to seek legal advice.

All these factors contribute to January being the most common month for individuals to consider consulting divorce lawyers. The combination of emotional reflection, the symbolic fresh start of a new year, and the practicalities of managing a marriage can drive more people to seek legal advice.
