Every year, many women tell themselves the same thing:
“I’ll get through the holidays first… then I’ll deal with my marriage.”
It feels practical, polite, even responsible. But in reality, waiting until after the holidays to talk to a divorce attorney can create unnecessary stress and missed opportunities. At Florida Women’s Law Group, we see this pattern every December and January, and understanding it can make all the difference.
Most women wait until after the holidays to reach out to an attorney. They feel guilty. They don’t want to disrupt family time. They tell themselves January will be a “better time.”
But here’s the truth no one tells them: everyone else is thinking the exact same thing.
When January arrives, it becomes the busiest, most crowded month in family law. Appointments vanish. Calendars max out. Women who waited are suddenly scrambling for whatever is left. You deserve more than hoping for a spot on someone’s calendar.
Here’s what often happens in December: late-night searches. Women lie awake while everyone else is asleep, quietly Googling:
- “How to prepare for divorce”
- “Florida custody laws”
- “Do I need an attorney first?”
- “Divorce steps for women in Florida”
They read articles, check attorney websites, and wonder what to do next but then they stop themselves. “I’ll deal with this after New Year’s,” they tell themselves.
And then January comes. Every woman who waited is reaching out at the same time. The emotional stress of the holidays is quickly followed by the chaos of trying to find an attorney.
Here’s the part most women never hear: you can talk to an attorney in December without filing, without creating conflict, and without disrupting the holidays. It’s simply a confidential conversation that gives you clarity and puts you ahead of the January rush.
The calmest, most strategic women take this approach. They reach out quietly, not to file, not to tell their spouse, just to secure an attorney and put a plan in place.
So, when January arrives, they aren’t panicking. They aren’t competing for limited appointments. They start the new year already informed, supported, and prepared. That’s the advantage most women don’t realize they’re missing.
You can give yourself clarity without sacrificing the holidays. If divorce has been on your mind, even quietly, this is the moment to explore your options. You don’t have to act. You don’t have to file. You don’t have to tell anyone. You’re simply allowing yourself to be informed and empowered.
