January sees the most divorce filings. Women initiate about 70% of divorces, typically after 2 to 3 years of unhappiness. Hinesh Chauhan explains the seasonal and emotional factors behind the timing.
What time of the year do people file for divorce the most? January. January is a pretty shitty month. You've got blue Monday, you've got dark days, cold weather, and then recovery from the holidays and ultimately getting your divorce papers. Because women initiate 70% of divorces, and women generally get married between the ages of 27 to 42 2. And men generally marry women who are younger. So men are generally a little bit further behind or ahead or older in age and normally need the time to catch up and accept the situation. Because women take two to three years to mourn the relationship before they actually say, hey, I'm out. So you don't need to do this alone. If you need support, reach out. Get the advice you need. Get the support you need so you can transition through it safely, peacefully, and as well as you possibly can. Good luck.
