‘Divorce Day’ – the first working day in January – is fast approaching and solicitors are expecting a rise in calls as couples make the difficult decision to separate.<\/p>\n

But why do people file for divorce<\/a> so soon after the festive period ends? <\/p>\n

It’s been revealed that couples often try to ‘keep it together over Christmas’ – and there are three main reasons.<\/p>\n

Sally Powell, executive partner at law firm Tees, told the Huddersfield Daily Examiner<\/a> : \u201cWhile the term \u2018Divorce Day\u2019 can downplay what is an incredibly complex time in people\u2019s lives, it is true that there is an increase in couples seeking divorces in January. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe New Year is synonymous with fresh starts, with people looking ahead and developing personal or professional goals, taking steps towards what they want for their future.”<\/p>\n
