The formal process of divorce is started by the issue of a Divorce Petition. Under the current law in England and Wales there is just one ground upon which you can base your divorce; "that the marriage has broken down irretrievably".
The Petition must rely on one of the following "facts", to prove the irretrievable breakdown of your marriage:
Adultery Unreasonable behavior 2 years separation with consent 2 years desertion 5 years separation without consentIn the majority of cases the divorce will be undefended and can, in uncomplicated cases, take 3 - 4 months from the date that the petition is filed until the pronouncement of the decree nisi. The Petitioner then has to wait a minimum of 6 weeks before he or she can apply for the decree absolute, which formally dissolves the marriage.
We can also help draft and set up Prenuptial Agreements. Prenuptial Agreement is a legal agreement made before marriage by a couple, setting out how they would like their assets split if they divorce.
