Facing Divorce in January?

A fresh start with the right support

January is often called Divorce Month because many couples choose to seek advice after the pressure of the festive season. For some, the new year brings clarity. People begin to reflect on their happiness, their future, and what they want their lives to look like.

If you are considering your options this January, you are not alone. At francis george solicitor-advocate we understand that making the first step can feel overwhelming. We are here to guide you with clear advice, calm support, and complete confidentiality.

Why January sees an increase in divorce enquiries

The Christmas period can be difficult for couples who are already struggling. Financial worries, family expectations, and emotional strain can magnify existing challenges. When January arrives, the focus naturally shifts to new beginnings, and many people decide to explore their legal options.

This does not mean the decision is taken lightly. Most people simply want to understand where they stand and what the future might look like

Looking after your wellbeing

Thinking about divorce can feel emotionally heavy. Many people experience worry, guilt, relief, or confusion. All of these feelings are completely normal. Reaching out for advice is not a commitment to proceed. It is simply a way to understand your situation so you can move forward with confidence.

Sometimes having someone neutral and experienced to talk things through with can make everything feel more manageable.
