Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that going through a divorce can be overwhelming and filled with uncertainty. To help ease your concerns, we’ve answered some of the most common questions our clients ask. If you have a specific query, feel free to reach out to our team for personalized advice.
How long does a divorce take?
On average, the divorce process takes between 6–8 months from application to final order, depending on court timescales and financial settlement progress.
Do I need to attend court?
Most divorces are resolved without a court hearing. Attendance is only required in certain financial or child-related disputes.
What is a no-fault divorce?
Introduced in 2022, a no-fault divorce allows couples to end their marriage without assigning blame. It simplifies the process and reduces conflict.
Can I protect my business or property during divorce?
Yes. Our solicitors specialise in protecting business assets and property interests through negotiated settlements or court orders.
What are my rights if we were never married but lived together?
Cohabiting couples do not have the same legal rights as married couples, but you may be able to claim under TOLATA or Schedule 1 Children Act 1989 depending on your circumstances.
Do you offer fixed-fee divorce services?
We offer clear, transparent pricing for all services, including fixed-fee divorce packages and bespoke arrangements for complex cases.
Are consultations confidential?
Yes, all communications and consultations are strictly confidential. We operate under professional standards regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).
