According to fashion magazine ‘Vogue’, divorce is going to be the ‘in thing’ this autumn. They conducted a survey and found that a good divorce lawyer was the 13th hottest trend of the top 40 trends for this season.

I guess women understand what this all means, cos I don’t.

According to Vogue:

The new best friend, a good divorce lawyer, cometh the credit crunch, cometh the great settlement.

Mandy Rimmer is a family lawyer with the Wigan based legal firm Stephensons, she believes that the popularity of divorce lawyers is a sign of the times with the current financial climate effecting people’s relationships.

I’m not surprised our profession has made it onto Vogue’s ‘what’s hot’ barometer.

Unfortunately, relationship breakdowns are another fall-out from the credit crunch and I would expect to see an increase in divorces, particularly between people in high-pressured jobs, as it continues.

So rather than get that new coat this autumn, get yourself a divorce lawyer. It’s what they’ll all be wearing in the high street!
