A recent study by FindLaw.com has revealed that although January is generally thought of as “Divorce Month” by divorce lawyers, March also sees a spike in the number of divorce queries.
The study found that searches for "divorce" and related phrases such as "family law" and "child custody" increased by 50% from just over 10,000 in December 2010 to nearly 16,000 in January 2011, and continued to surge through March. "Divorce" has been the No. 1 searched term on FindLaw.com since January 2010.
The study also looked at divorce filings across the U.S. between 2008 and 2011 and found that divorce filings spike in January, continue to rise and peak in late March.
