"So many, in fact, that January has earned the nickname "Divorce Month," with the first Monday of the year often referred to as "Divorce Monday." If you're reading this, chances are you've been contemplating a split for quite some time. When people finally reach the point of action, however, they often make avoidable mistakes-particularly when it comes to how they tell their spouse they want out."
"Ending a marriage is never easy. There are no perfect ways to break the news-only less painful ones. Still, some approaches cause unnecessary harm and permanently damage any chance of a respectful or cooperative separation. Below are three common (and costly) ways people get it wrong. The Blind-Sider: The Impersonal, Out-of-the-Blue Announcement Mark and Jenny had been married for eight years. Over time, their relationship grew distant, and Mark quietly decided he no longer wanted to be married."
Many people schedule consultations with family law attorneys in January, earning the month the nickname 'Divorce Month' and the first Monday 'Divorce Monday.' Individuals who have contemplated splitting for some time often make avoidable mistakes when they act, especially in how they tell their spouse. Abrupt, impersonal announcements can cause shock, disorientation, and a sense of dismissal, leaving the partner with no context or chance to prepare. Such blindside approaches erode trust, fuel resentment, escalate emotional fallout, and can increase legal conflict and costs. Ending a marriage lacks perfect methods; more thoughtful, communicative approaches reduce harm and preserve chances for respectful separation.
