Divorce Filings On The Rise As Courts Reopen

Divorce Filings On The Rise As Courts Reopen

The  New York Times reported that divorce filings are rising as the courts reopen, citing the Superior Court of California, where filings have grown substantially in L.A. county during the previous five months compared to 2020. Lawyers confirm similar trends in New York, Florida, and other states. 

Some lawyers have reported an increase of more than 20 percent over the summer months. According to the New York Times article, attorneys say their phones are ringing off the hook nonstop to initiate divorce proceedings.

The rise in divorce filings may be related to a backlog created by the pandemic. We previously commented on an upward trend in divorce filings in China and other places following lock-downs. And, it is certainly possible that the Delta variant will cause this trend will continue. We should anticipate continued social disruptions as this pandemic persists.

Josh and his team proved their track record. I hired him at 9am and they appeared for me by 1pm the same day. Highly contested paternity case, turned dependency nightmare. He faught hard in a short time and got the results I needed. My baby back. Josh and his associates are kind, patient, diligent and aggressive. They are human. I trusted them through the whole process. I was kept informed and they faught with passion. I’d rehire josh and his team any day. It was well worth the money spent. – Rochelle

Jason Brodie is what you want in an attorney: Ethical, classy, smart, and most of all he understands the law. He told me the truth, not what I wanted to hear, and gave me my options. He works with you to achieve your outcome. He did a masterful job for me! His firm is just as attentive, smart, and responsive, and gives you the support while you are getting battered by the despicable assaults from your ex and their counsel. It was a tough case, but he got it done ethically. It’s now over and I’m at peace. – Vincent B.

The best thing about Joshua Friedman was his compassion, knowledge and commitment. He was straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. He not only advised me on my initial separation, but continued to guide me until my divorce was finalized. He kept me informed with each new filing and discussed all of my options and risks. He was honest and answered each of my questions with thorough and thoughtful responses. His knowledge of the law was invaluable and I can’t thank him enough for his professionalism and dedication to my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who will devote his all to his clients. – Jennifer
