The possible reason for the increase in the scope of the search for these topics could be the sequence of Tishrei holidays that could have caused a feeling of being in a "pressure cooker" - and this due to the lack of frameworks for children, an increase in family expenses, a jump in the cost of living, and more.

According to Paz Schwartz, vice chairman of the Private Investigators Chamber, "We have experienced in the last two weeks a drastic increase in the number of people contacting us for the purposes of ordering an investigation in the field of matrimonial law.

In our estimation, this is a 150% jump compared to other days during the year."

The Mediators Office in Israel reports a significant increase of about 40% in the number of people applying to them.

"This is about the release of a pressure cooker that boiled during the holidays and is now exploding," notes Nir Tel-Paz, deputy chairman of the bureau.

Lawyers in the field of family law report a significant increase in the volume of referrals for advice during the holidays.

Attorney Ronan Daliho, an expert in family law, says that "over the years we have witnessed a significant increase in decisions to break up the marital relationship and divorce after the holidays.

It seems that this year it joins the dire economic situation.

In a reality where couples find it difficult to close the month, romance is pushed to the side and the troubles of existence do not give rest."

Another aspect that significantly intensifies intra-family pressure is the spike in the expenses of parental homes in Israel during the holidays.
