Inquiries about divorce have jumped by 80 per cent since last December as
quarrelling spouses return from summer holidays and consider calling it quits,
according to The Separation Guide, a website that connects separating couples
with legal and financial advice.

Among couples aged 55 and 64, inquiries have doubled over the same period. “It’s
the killing season for marriages,” says lawyer and founder of Separation and
Divorce Advisors Jacqueline Wharton, referring to the tendency for people to
make big life changes after the intense family interactions and financial
pressures of the Christmas-New Year period.
