Now's the time for a divorce!
9:27am Friday 21st December 2007
The next few weeks will be the busiest time of year for UK divorce courts as couples try to cut their losses before or immediately after Christmas.
The Ministry of Justice says it is expecting a surge in couples instructing solicitors to prepare petitions for divorce over the festive period.
Couples who hang on until the New Year will push divorce applications up further, until March, where petitions for divorce traditionally begin to level off.
Ayesha Vardag, a London-based specialist matrimonial solicitor, says the stress of enforced proximity, conflict with extended family and over-indulgence in alcohol can make already strained relationship crack at the seams.
