Divorces surge amid pandemic and downturn (只有英文)

The number of divorces handled by local law firms has doubled amid the pandemic and economic downturn, with stay-at-home arrangements and unemployment blamed for soured relationships.

 

Cross-border couples are hit the hardest as many have spent more than a year apart due to travel restrictions, said Kenneth Mak, founder of Smithfield Divorce Hong Kong.

 

Mak said the firm is hiring 10 additional staff to deal with the surge in demand, as it now handles about 100 divorce cases a month, twice the 50 cases in June last year.

 

Inquiries about separation also rose from 300 to 600 phone calls a month during the same period.
