I beg to differ. We live in a society where divorce has become commonplace, and lifelong commitment to marriage seems old-fashioned. However, there are some social movements reacting to way in which the legal system facilitates the breakdown of the family - Fathers for Justice, for example. Another criticism of present day use of divorce legislation is the over-reliance on the "unreasonable behaviour" proof, which is not how the original legislators, in the 1960s, saw it being used. So any evidence that suing for divorce is subject to seasonal variations, can only serve to highlight the fact that modern Britons show insufficient regard to the seriousness of the pledges, that they make to each other upon marrying, and are prepared to give more importance to their own selfish attitudes than to the well-being and needs of their children. Such a survey, whilst not a major research into this social problem, does provide some indicators. So I welcome it.

Nope they're not needed, gives the over paid under worked journalists something to write about though. If they didn't do this they'd just be making stories up about celebrities
