The holiday season is often filled with joy and excitement; however, it can also bring feelings of dread and uncertainty for many.
While some are busy preparing for a happy Christmas together, many are facing what may be their last Christmas together. For couples contemplating separation or divorce, the weight of this decision increases when the question of what is to happen to their children needs to be discussed and agreed.
At Emsleys Solicitors, we understand that the emotional burden of considering divorce during the festive period can be overwhelming. Whilst the holiday season often brings people together, sadly for some, this time of the year highlights the growing distance in their relationship.
The decision to separate is never easy and at Christmas, it may often be accompanied by extra feelings of grief, guilt, or worry.
For many parties, the need to wait until the New Year before starting proceedings is understandable. Some may wish to make the “last” Christmas their best whereas some may wish to reconsider their relationship after the Christmas break. Both points of view are perfectly valid.
The start of a New Year is traditionally a very busy time for family lawyers across the country with many individuals being motivated to take the next step, whether this may be separation, divorce or unresolved child-related issues. The ‘New Year, New Me’ mentality can often encourage parties to make a change and seek professional advice.
Sometimes, it is not just the emotional pressure which is at the forefront of the mind. After the financial pressures of Christmas, the cost of separation may feel daunting.
At Emsleys, we understand that this can be a difficult time both emotionally and financially and with that in mind, throughout January and February we are offering a reduced fixed fee for divorce proceedings. During these months, our fixed fees for divorce will be £360 including VAT and any disbursements instead of the usual £600 including VAT and disbursement. This offer is applicable to all new instructions.
We hope that this discount will offer some help to those who are in an already difficult situation. In order to obtain the reduced fixed fees for divorce proceedings in January and February, please quote “ESLBLOG” when booking your appointment.
Emsleys Solicitors offer more than legal support, you can be guaranteed a compassionate ear and an advocate during these most challenging times. We’re here to help, guide and support you through this difficult time.
