Why is January dubbed the divorce season?

According to family law firms, January is known as the ‘divorce season’ because it’s usually when they are inundated with new divorce enquiries.

Shani van Niekerk, a senior associate and attorney at Adams & Adams says it seems like the COVID-19 pandemic and financial difficulties

as a result of the global pandemic are adding to the usual flood of divorce enquiries in 2021.
