Divorce & Separation FAQs

What is a no-fault divorce?

Since April 2022, couples in England and Wales can divorce without blaming either party. You simply state that the marriage has irretrievably broken down. This reduces conflict and speeds up the process.

How is the matrimonial home dealt with in a divorce?

Options include selling the property and dividing proceeds, one party buying out the other, or a deferred sale (often used when children are involved). We advise on the best approach for your circumstances.

What is a consent order?

A consent order is a legally binding court order recording your agreed financial settlement. It protects both parties and prevents future claims. We strongly recommend obtaining one even in amicable divorces.

How long does a financial settlement take?

Financial settlements can take 6–18 months depending on complexity and whether the parties agree. Contested cases before a judge take longer. We explore all options to resolve matters efficiently.
