Divorce lawyers are warning of “unquantifiable damage” to families after seeing a spike in couples seeking to end their marriages during the cost-of-living crisis.
Top law firms say the “looming storm” of spiralling energy bills, rising inflation, and the possibility of a UK recession is fuelling a sharp increase in divorce inquiries. The energy cap, set at £1,400-a-year in October last year, is expected to top £4,200 by January next year and the Government is now planning for blackouts and gas shortages.
