New Year’s Resolution #1 — See Divorce Lawyer
?January is a busy time of year for divorce lawyers. According to this story from Wales, the holidays create a lot of pressures at the end of the year that combine to put stress on people in unhappy or weak relationships.
There are the financial pressures of gift buying and credit card debts, which may be heightened this year as a result of the housing market, credit crunch and rising gasoline and food prices.
The children are off from school and spending more time at home. The weather is colder and they are spending more time indoors. After the excitement of opening gifts, they are bored and cabin fever may start to mount.
When the inlaws are visiting, this can put further strain on a married couple, particularly in those cases where there are resentments and arguments and people are taking sides.
The media is portraying this season as an ideal time with happily married couples and perfect families. Real life is seldom like that and people may become unhappy comparing their life to those depicted by television, magazines and movies.
Finally, the new year is viewed as a time of turning over a new leaf, starting over and improving your life. People who are unhappy in their marriages may make it one of their resolutions not to spend another year with their spouse.
