Unfortunately, the day after “Dating Sunday” is all about disconnection, as the first Monday of the year, known as “Divorce Day” or “Divorce Monday”, is when divorce lawyers see a spike in people looking to dissolve their marriages. It’s also the day when there’s an increase in filed divorce petitions.
