What is divorce law?
Divorce law is the legal process that ends a marriage or civil partnership (strictly speaking, the process is called "dissolution" for civil partnerships). Divorce can be complex and will often involve issues beyond the separation of the relationship itself, including child arrangements and division of property and finances. It can also be a tough process due to the often emotional nature of the breakdown of a relationship.
Divorce law in the UK has changed thanks to the introduction of no-fault divorce in April 2022. No fault divorce means you no longer need to blame each other for ending a relationship. Instead, you can simply state that there has been an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. This has streamlined the divorce process to some degree, but it remains a complicated legal procedure.
Divorce affects a lot of people, with 23% of marriages in 2017 being predicted to get divorced in the first 15 years of marriage. Our divorce lawyers have a huge amount of experience and expertise in handling cases for people from all sorts of backgrounds. The way we operate is always the same, no matter who we're working with. We work hard to get you the right legal result while managing the process with sensitivity, integrity, and compassion.
