Family Law FAQs
You can apply for a divorce in England and Wales if the relevant jurisdictional requirements are met. Most applications are made online. Divorce is now based on no-fault divorce, so you do not need to prove that your spouse was responsible for the breakdown of the marriage. A family law solicitor can advise you on the divorce process and any related financial or child arrangements.
No. Under the no-fault divorce system, you do not need to prove adultery, unreasonable behaviour or blame the other party. One or both spouses simply confirm that the marriage has broken down irretrievably.
There is a minimum 20-week period before you can apply for a Conditional Order. After the Conditional Order, there is a further minimum waiting period of six weeks and one day before applying for the Final Order. In practice, the process can take longer. It may also be advisable in some cases to resolve financial matters before applying for the Final Order.
Divorce does not automatically resolve financial claims between spouses. Financial matters can include the family home, other property, savings, investments, businesses, pensions, income and maintenance. If an agreement is reached, it will usually be advisable to formalise it through a court-approved Consent Order so that the financial position is legally recorded. If agreement cannot be reached, an application for a Financial Remedy Order may be required.
Parents are encouraged to agree arrangements for their children wherever possible, including where the children live and the time they spend with each parent. If agreement cannot be reached, mediation or legal advice may assist. Where necessary, an application can be made to the Family Court for a Child Arrangements Order. The child's welfare is the court's paramount consideration.
Not necessarily. Many Family Law matters can be resolved through negotiation, mediation or other forms of non-court dispute resolution. Where agreement cannot be reached, or court intervention is necessary, we can advise you on the appropriate application and procedure.
Our fees depend on the nature and complexity of your matter. Depending on your circumstances, we may offer a brief initial consultation at no charge to understand the nature of your issue and how we may be able to assist. For many Family Law matters, we are able to offer a clear fixed fee for the agreed scope of work, which will be explained to you before you decide whether to proceed. Where a fixed fee is not appropriate, we will explain the applicable charging basis and likely costs.
A Consent Order records an agreed financial settlement between divorcing spouses and, once approved by the court, makes the agreement legally binding. Even where finances have been agreed amicably, obtaining a properly drafted Consent Order can be important to provide certainty and deal with future financial claims.
