- Monday, January 6 has been dubbed "Divorce Day."
- It's because Google search and family lawyers see a surge of divorce inquiries on the first working Monday back of the year.
- Breakup coach Cherlyn Chong said there are several reasons to explain this. For one, people may just want to give their partner one last happy Christmas and New Year's Eve before saying goodbye.
- The holiday period can also be very stressful, which exacerbates many of the flaws already apparent in a marriage.
- Even if you're past the point of resolution, divorce doesn't have to be the worst thing in the world. "It just means that you're giving yourself the chance to be happier, and you shouldn't fault yourself for that," Chong said.

The first Monday of the year when people drag themselves back to work isn't just bad because the realities of New Year's resolutions to rid our bodies of cheese and wine have set in. It's also earned the name "Divorce Day," as family lawyers have noticed a particularly high number of people inquiring about leaving their partners that flood in.
This year, while "Dating Sunday," the best day to be on dating apps, is on January 5, "Divorce Day" lands on January 6.
