Every year, the media draws our attention to 'Divorce
D-Day' – reckoned to be Monday of the first full working
week in January.
In theory, this is the day when (with Christmas out of the way,
the kids back at school and New Year's resolutions focused on
relationship issues), disaffected couples are most likely to pick
up the phone to a divorce lawyer.
So, how has our team of family lawyers geared up for
8th January? It's true we expect to see an
increase in divorce and separation enquiries at the start of the
year. Yet we expect as many, if not more enquiries from savvy
couples about pre-marital agreements. Having decided over the
festive season to move in together or get engaged, they want to
know how to avoid the unpleasantness, uncertainty and cost of a
divorce should the relationship fail.
