Our Client Is Growing Their Matrimonial Team During the Holidays — And For Good Reason
Thanksgiving brings family… and sometimes family drama. As the holiday season kicks in, matrimonial matters heat up across New York, making this the perfect time to join a growing family law practice.
When Even Turkeys Tie the Knot: Holiday Matrimonial Trends and Two New Attorney Roles
Thanksgiving week is here, and while most people are focused on turkey brines, travel plans, and escaping political conversations at the dinner table, those of us in the legal world know there is another seasonal tradition quietly kicking off.
The unofficial start of matrimonial season.
Something about the holidays has a unique way of bringing people together… and sometimes pushing them apart. From big family dinners to long car rides and extended time off work, November through February has historically been a peak time for relationship evaluations across New York.
Which brings us to a lighthearted reminder for the week.
If even turkeys are tying the knot before Thanksgiving, some of them may be untying it by New Year’s.
And that is exactly why the Matrimonial and Family Law field stays active during the holiday stretch.
Holiday Season = High Season in Family Law
Matrimonial attorneys across New York will tell you the same thing.
From Thanksgiving through Valentine’s Day, divorce consultations, custody disputes, and support matters all tend to rise.
Why
• More family interactions
• More stress and financial pressure
• More time at home
• And more moments that force clarity — for better or worse
For law firms with strong matrimonial practices, this season brings both an uptick in work and an opportunity to expand their teams.
