The first Monday after New Year’s Day has been dubbed “divorce day”. Every year we have an increase in calls in January as couples make the difficult decision of getting a divorce their new year’s resolution. The new year is synonymous with fresh starts and making personal or professional goals.
Being with your partner over the festive period for aprolonged length of time can result in arguments and this combined with NewYears and looking for a fresh start means that many couples make the decision to divorce.
If you choose to divorce then it is important to obtainsolid legal advice on all your rights. We advise people on how the process works, the timescales and costs theycan expect. It’s important for us tounderstand and support our clients through their concerns and expectations.
A common misconception with Divorce is that once the Decree Absolute has been granted that this is the end of the matter. Many people do not realise that spouses can each still make financial claims against the other at any point in the future if they haven’t obtained a clean break order from the court.
This is why it is vital that you consult a solicitor as soon as you make the decision to separate or divorce. At Sanders Witherspoon we are able to offer an initial fixed fee consultation with a family law solicitor.
