“There have been suggestions there is this big day when people get divorced after Christmas because they have fallen out over the turkey,” Simon Blain, a partner specialising in family law at law firm Forsters, said.
“Those who work in the industry have been trying to downplay that for years because we know that divorce tends not to be a decision that people make in haste.
“The correlation between the peak dates and divorce is generally at the end of the long school holidays, which often provide time for reflection and thought when you take time out of work and get the headspace to make big decisions in your life.”
