It’s customary to wish people a Happy New Year on January 1. But after the confetti clears and the noisemakers are thrown away, it is becoming increasingly common for people to celebrate “Divorce Day.”
The first Monday of January has traditionally seen a spike in people either consulting lawyers or looking up web information for a way to end their marriages. In fact, some lawyers label all of January as Divorce Month.
“Many New Year's resolutions entail self-improvement, including fitness, weight loss and sometimes getting out of a marriage," Lawyer Rebecca Palmer wrote in a commentary on Law.com.
