Are There Benefits Of Getting Divorced In The Summer?

Summertime

If you have been thinking about ending your marriage, you may have already considered many possibilities. It may also seem as though there is no ‘right’ time to get a divorce. However, as summer approaches, there are many reasons you may want to think about starting the process as the weather gets warmer. While January and February are typically the months when most people file for divorce, there are many benefits that come with starting the process during the summer months. Below, our Media divorce lawyer explains what these are.

Extra Time 

During the summer months, people often take time off of work to renovate their home, take a vacation, and do the things they cannot do when the cold weather pushes many people indoors. This extra time can provide the opportunity to give your divorce, and the decisions you will have to make, the focus they need. Divorce is often a long and complicated process. If you do not fully consider certain factors, you could end up giving up many of your rights. If, in the summer, you find you have more time in your schedule to dedicate to your case, you may be able to secure a better settlement than if you rushed through decisions.

Less Interruption for the Children 

It is no secret that divorce is hardest on the kids. One way to make the process easier is to get divorced in the summer months instead of in the middle of the school year. This is particularly true if the children will have to move as a result of the divorce, and if they will have to attend a new school. Ending the marriage during the summer can give them the time they need to meet new friends in their new neighborhood, which can greatly help with the transition to a new school. Even if your child is not moving, divorcing in the summer can ensure their regular routine is interrupted as little as possible.

A Chance for Rediscovery 

During a marriage, it is not uncommon for people to feel as though they lost themselves somewhat. Sometimes, people give up the things they love to spend more time with their spouse, while other times, people may simply become too busy with their family to devote time to their hobbies. While there are few benefits that come with divorce, the chance of rediscovering yourself is one of them. If you divorce during the summer months, you will also have more time for this.
