The first working Monday of the new year is famously known as ‘Divorce Day’, the biggest day for divorce enquiries to family law solicitors in the calendar year. Typically, this is because normality starts to settle in after the festive rush. Those who have put off enquiring about divorce until after Christmas are ready to follow through, and some people find they reach their breaking point during the holiday season.
If you find yourself wanting to start the divorce process, or you’re taking your first, often challenging, steps, we’ve put together a range of resources to help you navigate the various tasks and emotions.
Register for our free Break-up Club webinar ‘A beginner’s guide to divorce’ on Thursday 16th January 17:30-18:30.
In the webinar, Stowe lawyers Ashley Le Core and Samantha Edwards will be joined by divorce coach Rebecca Spittles and leading financial planner Jodie Phelps to deep dive into those first parts of divorce, including legal, emotional, and financial matters, and give their top tips.
You can also download our free Beginner’s guide to divorce handbook.
Emotional Support

Divorce coaches work alongside your legal team to help you with your decision-making, support with administrative tasks, and build your confidence to create an exciting post-divorce future.
