According to the National Day Archives, King Law Firm Attorneys at Law, Inc. founded National Conscious Uncoupling Day in November 2020.
National Conscious Uncoupling Day is annually marked on January 21. According to research undertaken in the United States, about half of all marriages end in divorce or separation. Accordingly, the divorce rate appears to increase after the holidays and around tax season. Conscious uncoupling prevents a contentious and costly divorce by placing the needs of the children involved first. The day is commemorated to promote amicable separation and raise awareness of alternatives to divorce in order to protect families from harm.
According to the National Day Archives, King Law Firm Attorneys at Law, Inc. founded National Conscious Uncoupling Day in November 2020. Conscious uncoupling can be a way for couples to separate while maintaining mutual respect and putting the needs of their children first. Divorce rates rise after the holidays and around tax time, and conscious uncoupling can be a way for couples to split while maintaining mutual respect and putting the needs of their children By commemorating this day, we can bring attention to alternative divorce remedies such as mediation, do-it-yourself divorce, collaborative divorce, and out-of-court divorce.
Mediation is a successful alternative to divorce, particularly for couples who can achieve an agreement. In the meantime, the DIY divorce is rarely recommended. Although it is one of the options, it could exacerbate the situation and result in a negative consequence. Collaborative divorce encourages spouses, who are each represented by a counsel, to work together to reach a mutually advantageous agreement. Through an out-of-court divorce, spouses have the option of negotiating a settlement rather than having a judge decide for them.
Since the 1940s, ‘uncoupling’ has been used as a synonym for divorce. Sociologist Diane Vaughan introduced her “uncoupling theory” in 1976, which describes a specific moment in a couple’s separation. Katherine Woodward Thomas coined the term deliberate uncoupling in 2009, and actress Gwyneth Paltrow popularised it when she used it to describe her 2014 divorce from Chris Martin. Conscious uncoupling is a method for ending a relationship that emphasises mutual respect, kindness, and profound care, particularly when children are involved.
