Whether it’s the end of the holiday season or the winter cold in many states, the first quarter of the year has statistically become the busiest time of year for divorce attorneys and family law courts. Over the past five years, divorce rates have risen consistently from January through March, when they peak. Even Internet searches of divorce and family law related issues peak during that same period.
If you’re considering a divorce, it’s important to ensure you have plan before moving forward. Consider building a support network including possible support groups of others who are going through the process. Start saving so that you can cover any expenses you may incur on your own. Hire an experienced divorce attorney — and remember that you can interview more than one until you find someone you think understands your case and will be your best advocate. Work with your attorney to develop a list of paperwork you may need, and to help you plan for the process. If you and your spouse don’t want to hire attorneys, consider consulting with one before you file your paperwork to ensure everything is in order.
