What does divorce involve?
Divorce is the legal process of ending a marriage or civil partnership. You no longer need to prove fault – you simply confirm that the relationship has broken down.
The process includes:
- Submitting a divorce application
- A 20-week reflection period
- Receiving a Conditional Order
- Receiving a Final Order to legally end the marriage
Our approachable divorce solicitors will guide you through every stage, making the process clearer and less stressful.
