Divorce
Since April 2022, in order to secure a divorce, the Applicant (person seeking divorce) must currently satisfy the Court that the marriage has irretrievably broken down. There is no longer any requirement to prove that one party is at fault. To apply for a divorce, the Applicant and the Respondent must have been married for at least one year.
The decision as to whether to bring proceedings for divorce requires careful balancing of legal financial and emotional considerations. We are happy to advise those who are simply considering divorce as an option and if instructed to apply for a divorce our aim is always to secure a divorce causing the minimum distress to the parties as practicable.
A straightforward undefended divorce will take approximately 30 to 35 weeks to process. The new Law requires a “20 week” period of reflection which does slow matters down. We are able to act on the basis of a fixed fee.
