Experts say that spring may be the culprit behind high profile couples' sudden rush to the courts to formalize their split. They believe spring is the classic break-up season.
"It's when people do their spring cleaning and it is a natural time for a breakup for anyone who has been thinking about it for awhile," the New York Daily News quoted clinical psychologist Belisa Vranich, as saying.
She added: "The idea may have come to you last fall, but you didn't want to ruin the major holidays and leave a spouse alone in the dark, cold winter."
But in spring there are no big family holidays that will be disrupted; people feel lighter and are looking forward to something new, Vranich pointed out.
She said: "You don't have to worry that it will freak out the family as much."
Relationship expert Mary Jo Rapini said: "We see breakups in the spring much more in couples with kids.
