A tale of two Sirs...a divorce is for Christmas 03.01.2011

The New Year and post-Christmas period traditionally sees a huge surge in the number of divorces and breakdowns.



Mindful of the statistics, Senior High Court Judge Sir Paul Coleridge is launching a campaign to halt the "appalling and costly impact of family breakdown". After sitting in court for over forty years, he has seen "hundreds and thousands of people traipsing through the divorce courts"

Sir Paul wants to halt what he calls a 'recycling attitude' to relationships in which people ditch partners rather than trying to make things work. "Mend it-don't end it" is his message.





He presided over first round divorce hearings between 'Sir' Paul McCartney and 'Lady' McCartney some time ago and may have presided over all his othr divorce cases.





There are approximately 3.8 m kids currently caught in the family justice system.



A divorce is for

life, not just for the dog days

after Christmas feuds.
