You’ve heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday but have you heard of Divorce Monday? Divorce Monday falls on the first business day of January. “New Year, New You!” With the New Year it brings a newfound courage to start over or start a new chapter in life. The start of a new year is time for rejuvenation and renewal in January.
