Is your marriage going through difficult times and you feel your partner might file for divorce soon? Your partner might just file for divorce today as according to relationship counsellors and lawyers; January 2nd is known as ‘Divorce Day’ as it is the time when most couples file for divorce.

According to a study, one in four parents have secretly considered divorce and January 2nd is the day they would most likely file for divorce. After months, or even years, of thinking about separating from their partner, the stress of a frenetic Christmas and the start of the New Year, are the catalyst for relationship breakdowns.

According to Daily Mail, Andrew Newbury, head of family law at Slater & Gordon made the following comments concerning the issue:

‘We see a real spike in people enquiring about divorce in January, with twice as many than any other period.

‘There are a whole host of reasons for this. One is the hot-house pressure of Christmas, with couples cooped up who might also have had too much food and too much alcohol.

‘Two weeks at home can put pressure on couples and if expectations on Christmas are not met there can be a sense of disappointment which can lead them to look at their lives.

‘Some people also discover affairs around Christmas with a text message on Christmas Day or the announcement of a new relationship.

‘For others, they have been thinking about divorce for a few months or a year and they make it a New Year resolution to finally file for divorce to have a new start.’
