March Divorce Spikes

Why do we notice a spike in divorces during March?

Divorce filings frequently spike in March due to a "seasonal, biannual pattern" following the winter holiday season. This surge is often driven by disillusionment after holidays fail to mend relationships, the conclusion of the new year "honeymoon" phase, financial motivations (post-tax season), and warmer weather providing increased energy for life changes. We have also noticed couples with children involved tend to file more in March than couples without children.
We have gathered three top reasons we find our Fort Worth clients site as reason to file for divorce this March.
