With the New Year come resolutions to improve our lives. These can range from buying membership at the local gym to making more life-changing decisions.

Family departments in law firms across the country note there is usually a large increase in divorce proceedings which commence in January compared to any other month in the year. References are often made that couples just want to have one last Christmas as a family before separating, or that they are staying in a relationship ‘for the kids’. Others cite the financial pressures of Christmas causing strain on the relationship.

Having spoken with our clients, there are positives to be taken from what can be an emotionally difficult time. Starting next month, we will be sending out via social media the themes of why couples separate and the positives that they are looking to get out of the divorce process.

This month, we are offering a 15% discount on selected fixed price services. Please contact us on 01484 538421 for further details or visit our website.
