The end of a new year, and the beginning of a new can be a time for reflection, resolutions, and fresh beginnings. For many, it’s a chance to evaluate life decisions, including relationships. It’s no surprise, then, that January is often referred to as “Divorce Month” as couples take steps toward starting anew.
If you’re considering divorce or already navigating the process, you’re not alone. This blog explores why January sees a spike in divorce filings, and how you can best prepare for a fresh start with confidence and clarity.
1. Why is January So Popular for Divorce?
Several factors make January the busiest month for divorce:
- Holiday Pressure: The festive season often amplifies existing relationship issues due to financial stress, family dynamics, or unmet expectations.
- New Year Resolutions: January symbolises new beginnings, prompting individuals to prioritise happiness and take charge of their futures.
- Delaying for Christmas: Many couples wait until after the festive season to avoid disrupting family celebrations, particularly for children.
These factors create a perfect storm, leading many to take the first step toward divorce at the start of the year.
2. Preparing for Divorce: Key Considerations
If you’re contemplating divorce in January, it’s essential to prepare thoughtfully. Here are some key steps to consider:
- Seek Professional Advice: Understanding your rights and options is crucial. Speak to a trusted divorce professional like Fair Result to guide you through the process.
- Get Organised: Gather important documents such as financial records, property deeds, and joint account statements to streamline the settlement process.
- Focus on Your Wellbeing: Divorce can be emotionally draining. Prioritise self-care and lean on supportive friends, family, or counsellors.
