Divorce is widely considered to be one of life’s most stressful events. When this is combined with the existing pressures of being a frontline worker, the prospect of getting a divorce can seem incredibly daunting or even near impossible.
The stresses faced by people working on the frontline have undoubtedly been made worse by the Covid-19 pandemic. A recent study from Roehampton University revealed that amongst NHS workers alone, severe levels of stress increased from 11 to 46 percent as a result of additional demands on health services.
If you work on the frontline in health, social care or the emergency services and you’re starting divorce proceedings, you might have wondered how you’ll find the capacity to get through the process.
In this article, we’ll discuss the challenges faced by key workers when seeking a divorce as well as how our Family Lawyers can help. Read on to find out more or get in touch for advice that’s individual to you.
