Valentine's Day is supposed
to be about love and romance. But unfortunately, it can be just the opposite.
Because of that, Feb. 15th starts the busy season for divorce lawyers, as
people who were unhappy with their marriages heading into the day often decide
that they no longer want to be with the one they used to love.
A study of divorce filings
(档案) in New York, Illinois and California by
AttorneyFee. com, a legal referral (推荐) site, found that February
is the busiest month of the year for divorce filings, up about 18% from the
average month. And those seeking referrals for a divorce lawyer on the site
increase 38% following the holiday, with the biggest rise on the day after
Valentine's.
Another legal site, Avvo.
com, reports a 40% increase in those seeking information and advice about
divorce in the period right after Valentine's Day.
"There's a very large number of people who are considering
the divorce all the time, deciding whether or not to file," said Richard
Komaiko, a co-founder of AttorneyFee. "On Valentine's Day, this thing is
carefully considered."
Komaiko said February has
factors other than the holiday that could lead to an increase in divorces.
January is the busiest month of the year for bankruptcy (破产) filings, highlighting the financial problems that often divide
couples. In addition, the cold weather of February can keep couples that are
having trouble indoors and closer to each other, adding to problems.
But Alton Abramowitz,
president of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, believes the holiday
itself often worsen the relationship for couples who are having trouble.
"There's always the clients who come in a day or two after saying 'I can't
believe it. I made this beautiful dinner for my husband for Valentine's Day,
but he called to say he was stuck in the office and then didn't come home at
all.'" Abramowitz said, "the day can create problems that lead to
them finally getting caught."
