For many, the resolutions of the New Year may be leading directly to a divorce lawyer. Mid-January is traditionally a peak time for inquiries about divorce, according to family law attorney Brad LaMorgese from the Dallas office of McCurley Orsinger McCurley Nelson & Downing. "People make it through the pressures of the holidays, then decide that they don't want to face those same arguments or disappointments again," says LaMorgese. "There are greater opportunities for conflicts involving finances or relatives this time of year, plus it's also a time when it's normal to think about and make plans for the future." He also notes that some couples wait until January to begin divorce proceedings in order to keep up appearances during family and social engagements of the holidays.
