It's a common phenomenon for couples to delay their divorce until after the holiday season. Kimberlee Sweeney and Kelly Sutton, who both separated from their husbands in January, are prime examples. This trend is often attributed to the desire to provide one last normal Christmas for their children and extended family. As a result, January becomes a popular month for divorces, with many couples seeking a 'new year, new start'. Family law experts also notice a surge in divorce filings during this time, citing the added stress of the holiday season as a contributing factor to relationship breakdowns.
