A recent article from insidebayarea.com explains that a common New Year’s resolution for many married individuals might be to get a divorce. Professionals from California divorce attorneys, to family mediators, to financial planners who deal with divorce, all agree that January usually ushers in a spike of inquiries about launching divorce proceedings.
Interestingly, this spike immediately follows a lull in California divorce proceedings that begins around Thanksgiving. Most couples want to get through the holiday season before making choices and changes that will dramatically alter their lives. After these couples ring in the new year, however, their focus turns to self-improvement and change, and just as many people use the new year to make resolutions of change, a large number also choose to change their marital status.
In fact, 70% of divorce attorneys surveyed by the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals, an organization that matches couples with mental health experts, financial planners and legal aids to dissolve their unions amicably outside court, reported that January and February are their busiest months.
