Divorce Hour

January is the busiest month for couples filing for divorce.  It's almost as though Christmas was the very last straw. This short article shows the peak times for a divorce.

A recent study showed that the busiest time for divorce enquiries online was between 12:30 am and 1 am. 45% of overnight enquiries came in between 10 pm and midnight, and 24% were between 3 am and 6 am.

Tracey Moloney, Head of Family Law at Co-op Legal Services, said:

"We are seeing more enquiries late at night - I don't know if it's because they just want to make some enquiries without their partner knowing or if it's because they are anxious and can't sleep.”

Harry Benson, of the Marriage Foundation, said:

"Having a smartphone by the bed undoubtedly allows us to execute decisions at unusual hours, for better or worse."
