Prentice Family Law It is an unknown fact to most of the UK population, but there is one day a year that all divorce solicitors in Guildford brace for; divorce day, also known as January 3rd. This is a day when, for some reason, more people apply for divorces than at any other time of the year. It is also a time when most divorce solicitors in Guildford have people asking questions about divorces and fees etc. With the introduction of no-fault divorces on April 6th 2022, many divorce solicitors in Guildford were expecting a surge in the number of enquiries that occurred on this day. However, even now, the stats on this expected boom in the number of enquiries is still hazy, but if solicitors were correct, there would have been more than a few thousand couples looking to end their marriages. But is it really that clear-cut? And what are the main reasons behind divorces over the last 10 years in the UK? Also, why is there a spike in people ending their marriages after the first year? Read on to find out! Divorce solicitors in Guildford have surmised that over the last 10 years, the main reasons for divorce in the UK have been linked to unreasonable behaviour; this is the most common reason for divorce in the UK, accounting for 50% of all divorces. Unreasonable behaviour can include a wide range of issues, such as physical or emotional abuse, infidelity, financial problems, and lack of communication; this was followed closely by separation (such as living apart) and adultery. So, based on these figures, it seems that the aforementioned concern about a spike in the number of divorces being sought simply due to growing apart is unfounded. Reasons for divorce There has also been an increase in marriages ending after the first year. Is this to do with no-fault divorces? Not likely in the UK, as they have only just come into effect! In many parts of the world, the social norms around marriage have changed. It is no longer seen as necessary or desirable to stay in an unhappy marriage, and people are more willing to divorce if they are unhappy. Also, women, in particular, are more independent today than they were in the past, meaning that they are less likely to stay in a marriage if they are not happy, and they are more likely to have the financial resources to leave. Then there is the fact that people today have higher expectations for their marriages. They want a partner who will fulfil all their emotional and physical needs, and they may be less willing to compromise or work through problems. Also, without drawing negative attention to social media, divorce solicitors in Guildford have noted that the incidents of infidelity in marriages have increased as a reason for divorces. So, with the ability to connect with more people online and to meet them in person, it seems that there is a higher chance of people cheating on their spouses. Why are marriage lengths shrinking? So, while the data has yet to be released, it may be the case that marriages, as a social construct, are not viewed in as high of a regard as they used to be, and this is the reason for them being terminated, and for them being shorter on average. But, any significant pattern in couples looking to divorce will be noted by divorce solicitors in Guildford on divorce day 2024! ht tps: / /prent ice fami ly law.co .uk / h t tps: / /www.gov.uk /government /news/b lame-game-ends-as- no- fau l t -d ivorce-comes- in to - force ht tps: / /www.media teuk .co .uk /u l t imate -gu ide- to - the-no- fau l t -d ivorce- law/ Sources :
