More than 80,000 marriages a year end in England and Wales, so if you’re facing this, know you’re not alone. Navigating the complexities of divorce law can be daunting, but at KT Family Solicitors we will be at your side. We recognise the emotional and stressful turmoil created by relationship breakdowns. The decisions you make now will have lasting consequences for you and your family.
We’ll guide you through the stages of the divorce process including the conditional order (formerly known as the decree nisi) and the final order (formerly decree absolute).The divorce process takes around eight months and at every stage we will be with you, providing clear legal advice while acknowledging and supporting your emotional needs.
Divorce: what you need to know
While divorce formally ends a marriage, it’s important to understand that it doesn’t resolve related issues such as childcare arrangements or financial settlements.
Recent legal changes have introduced ‘no-fault’ divorces, meaning neither party is required to prove fault, and the divorce cannot be challenged. A couple must be married for at least a year to apply for a divorce. For civil partnerships, the legal process is called dissolution.
What is judicial separation?
Judicial separation occurs where a couple opt to legally separate, but they wish to remain married, perhaps for religious reasons. A judicial separation gives the court the power to make an order in respect of the couple’s finances.
Do I need a divorce?
If you want the court to make an order regarding your finances, or if you want to remarry, then you need to have divorced. If you and your partner are able to part amicably and don’t require a court order to formalise your financial arrangement (and neither of you plans to wed again), you might choose to remain married.
