Below are answers to some of the questions we hear most often about divorce. Whether you’re wondering about timelines, costs or next steps, this FAQ gives clear, straightforward information so you know exactly what to expect as we guide you through every stage.
Since the introduction of no-fault divorce, the earliest you can obtain a final order is six months from the date you apply, but most straightforward cases complete in 6-9 months. Complex financial or child matters may extend this timeframe.
We offer packages tailored to the complexity of your divorce. Your quote will include all court fees, solicitor time and any reasonable disbursements, so you’ll know the total cost upfront, with no hidden extras.
In most cases, divorces settle “on paper” without face-to-face hearings. If a hearing is required (for example, to resolve contested issues), we’ll prepare you fully and represent you at every stage.
No-fault divorce means you don’t need to assign blame or prove wrongdoing. You simply apply on the basis that the marriage has broken down, reducing conflict and speeding up the process.
Absolutely. We advise on child arrangements, where the children live, contact schedules and financial support. Our goal is to achieve stable, workable solutions that prioritise your children’s best interests.
Even if your spouse contests the divorce or financial proposals, we’ll negotiate on your behalf and explore mediation or court options if necessary, always aiming for a fair settlement without unnecessary delay or cost.
