Starting the Divorce Process

We understand how daunting the first steps can feel. That’s why we handle the legal process from start to finish, keeping you informed and in control.

Here’s How the Divorce Process Works:

  • Divorce Application – We prepare and submit all the necessary paperwork to the court.
  • Conditional Order – After 20 weeks, the court issues this to confirm the marriage has irretrievably broken down.
  • Final Order – Six weeks later, we help you apply to legally end your marriage.

Negotiating Financial Arrangements

Dividing assets is often the most complex part. We’ll help you:

  • Reach a fair and practical settlement
  • Protect your rights around the family home, pensions, savings, and debts
  • Avoid unnecessary conflict or court battles

Making Arrangements for Children

When children are involved, their wellbeing comes first. We’ll help you:

  • Agree where children will live
  • Arrange parenting time fairly
  • Make key decisions in their best interests

Every family is different. We’ll give advice that fits your situation. Call our specialist family team today on 01642 843 671 or use our contact form and we will call you back.

Responding to a Divorce Application

Whether it was expected or not, you might be unsure of your next steps. We’re here to protect your interests and guide you forward.

What We’ll Help You With:

  • Reviewing the Application – We’ll explain your rights and options
  • Handling Financial Disputes – Ensuring assets, pensions and contributions are fairly considered
  • Challenging Child Arrangements – If they’re not in your child’s best interests

  • Informal discussions
  • Solicitor-led correspondence
  • Mediation

Going to Court?

If needed, we’re ready to represent you strongly in court. Whether it’s finances or child arrangements, we’ll:
