    Frequently Asked Questions…

    How do I begin divorcing my partner?2020-07-15T10:50:14+01:00

    The first stage to obtaining a divorce is to check you can under the law, based upon an irretrievable breakdown of your marriage before you apply. To discuss your circumstances and the options open to you please contact our team.

    How much does a divorce/family law solicitor cost?2020-07-15T10:51:04+01:00

    In most cases we are able to offer a fixed fee service in respect of divorce proceedings. For other matters, such as resolving financial issues and arrangements for children, we are able to provide you with clear estimates of the cost of representation.

    How long does it take to get a divorce?2020-07-15T10:52:04+01:00

    Every divorce is different but on average a divorce can take between 6 and 8 months, however, if there are financial issues or other complications arising from a party being uncooperative it could take longer. 

    What is mediation?2020-07-15T10:52:42+01:00

    Mediation is a common way for spouses to come up with a divorce settlement together with the help of a third party. Less expensive than a court trial, a mediator isn’t bought in to make decisions for you, instead, they facilitate you and your spouse making arrangements for practicalities following your divorce, including child arrangements and division of assets. The core benefit of mediation is that it leaves you to agree together, and communicate what you both feel is an appropriate divorce settlement, as opposed to a court forcing a decision upon you. 

    What is an ‘irretrievable breakdown’?2020-07-15T11:09:30+01:00

    An irretrievable breakdown of a marriage is the only way in law in England under which a couple can qualify for a divorce. There are 5 ways in which an irretrievable breakdown can be demonstrated to the courts, these are adultery, unreasonable behaviour, desertion, 2 years separation (with consent- so you both agree to a divorce) and a 5-year separation (no-consent, see below).
