The UPI recently ran a story that said that the end of summer is one of the most common times of the year to start divorce proceedings.
Included in the story was this:
The lawyers said the end of summer is rivaled only by the close of the Christmas season for amount of annual divorces, ABC News reported Tuesday.

“This is usually the deferral of a decision that’s been made months earlier,” said James Hennenhoefer, a family law attorney in Vista, Calif.
Our practice has experience similar surges in divorces. The common theme is that couples are waiting for the good times to be over before creating havoc in the home. Although James Hennenhoefer’s suggestion is about the end of summer, it’s typically true that divorces after the close of Christmas are also the deferral of decisions made in the past (usually before the start of the “holiday season”).
