Divorce Study: Does the End of Summer Bring Spike in Divorces?
Divorce Study findings suggest that divorce filings tend to spike as summer ends and fall begins. Conducted by the University of Washington, the study analyzed divorce filings from 2001 to 2015, revealing peak months in March and August. Researchers believe that couples may delay divorce until after family-oriented holidays or vacations, as these periods often highlight existing issues or prompt couples to reassess their relationships.
