Why summer is the best time to divorce
On Behalf of Kevin E. Sralla | July 2, 2024 | Blog
Divorce is never an easy decision, but timing can play a crucial role in how smoothly the process goes. While every situation is unique, many find that summer offers several advantages for navigating this challenging life transition. Here are some reasons why summer might be the best time to divorce:
1: School’s Out
For couples with children, summer break means no school schedules to juggle. This can reduce stress on the kids and provide a more stable environment during the initial stages of the divorce. Parents can use this time to help their children adjust to the new family dynamics without the added pressure of schoolwork and extracurricular activities.
2: More Flexible Schedules
Summer often brings more flexible work schedules and vacation time. This can make it easier for both parties to attend necessary meetings with lawyers, mediators, and counselors. It also allows for more time to focus on personal well-being and self-care, which is crucial during a divorce.
3: Better Weather, Better Mood
The longer days and warmer weather can have a positive impact on mood and mental health. Sunshine and outdoor activities can provide a much-needed boost during a stressful time. Engaging in outdoor activities like hiking, swimming, or simply spending time in nature can help clear your mind and reduce stress.
4: Opportunity for a Fresh Start
Summer symbolizes new beginnings and can be an ideal time to start fresh. Whether it’s moving to a new home, starting a new job, or simply embracing a new lifestyle, the summer months provide a natural break in the year to make significant life changes.
5: Time to Plan for the Future
With the extra time that summer provides, you can focus on planning for the future. This might include setting new goals, creating a budget, or even taking a short course to enhance your skills. Having a clear plan can make the transition smoother and less overwhelming.
6: Social Support
Summer is a time for social gatherings, vacations, and reconnecting with friends and family. This social support can be invaluable during a divorce. Surrounding yourself with loved ones can provide emotional support and help you feel less isolated.
7: Less Financial Pressure
For some, summer can mean fewer financial pressures compared to other times of the year. With no holiday or school-related expenses, it might be easier to manage the financial aspects of a divorce.
Conclusion
While there’s no perfect time to go through a divorce, summer offers several unique advantages that can make the process a bit more manageable. From flexible schedules and better weather to the opportunity for a fresh start, summer can provide the right environment to navigate this significant life change.

Where Do I Go For A Divorce?
If you hire a family law divorce lawyer, your lawyer will file your divorce petition electronically.

Getting a divorce with absolutely no money is difficult but not impossible. The party seeking to file for divorce can visit the Family Law Staff Attorney’s Office at the Bexar County Courthouse to obtain a packet of information to assist in preparing and filing the paperwork for starting a divorce case.
