Frequently Asked Questions

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Accordion with Lato Font (Single Open)

You are not legally required to have a solicitor, but divorce involves significant financial and legal consequences that can affect you for years. Without specialist advice, you risk agreeing to a settlement that does not reflect your entitlements - or leaving yourself exposed to future claims. Early legal advice is strongly recommended.

Under the no-fault divorce rules introduced in 2022, the minimum time frame is around six months. However, the financial settlement - which runs separately - can take considerably longer, particularly in complex cases involving property, pensions or business interests. Reaching an early agreement significantly speeds up the process.

There is no automatic rule. Options include one party buying out the other, a deferred sale until children reach adulthood or an immediate sale with proceeds divided. The right outcome depends on your individual circumstances, including the needs of any children and each party's financial position.

In England and Wales, there is no fixed formula for dividing assets on divorce - courts aim for a fair outcome based on the specific circumstances of each case, with the needs of any children taking priority. We help you understand what you are entitled to, identify what matters most to you and build a strategy to protect both your financial future and your relationship with your children.

The majority of divorces are resolved through negotiation or mediation, without the need for court proceedings. We always seek to reach agreement wherever possible, minimising cost and stress for our clients. However, if a fair settlement cannot be achieved, our experienced family lawyers are fully prepared to represent and advocate for you in court.

Divorce legally ends the marriage. A financial settlement - formalised through a consent order - deals separately with how assets, property, pensions and income are divided. The two processes run in parallel but are distinct. Importantly, divorce alone does not end your financial obligations to each other.

Our family lawyers london are experienced in dealing with situations involving children.   We understand how hard it is to put new arrangements in place and work sensitively with you to reach solutions both parents can agree on.
