The holidays are just around the corner from Thanksgiving dinner parties to holiday shopping to the cold, snowy weather, this time of year can be incredibly stressful. So, it is no surprise that the holiday season is also one of the peaks for divorce. While January is the highest month for divorces, the problems start before the holidays.
Why January Sees the Most Divorce Filings
Couples often start having issues before the holiday season even begins, but for the sake of their families (especially their children), they often hold out and endure the holidays before announcing their decision. Thus, why January sees such a jump in divorce filings.
When going through or considering divorce, there are many factors a couple has to consider. If there are any assets, including property, or minor children involved, then often times this involves the court, particularly with cases that are contested.
