Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce
How long does a divorce take?
The divorce element can often be uncomplicated, but complications can arise when issues like finances or child arrangements are involved, which can lengthen the timeline. The overall duration of your divorce will largely depend on the unique aspects of your case. Our expert family law solicitors are here to offer tailored advice and give you a clear understanding of how long your divorce may take, based on your individual circumstances.
Can I divorce if my spouse doesn’t agree?
Yes, you can still proceed with a divorce even if your spouse does not agree. With the introduction of no-fault divorce, starting the process has become simpler and does not require either party to prove fault or wrongdoing. If you’re unable to locate your spouse, we can also assist with this, ensuring the process moves forward smoothly.

Do I need to go to court for a divorce?
The divorce element can often be uncomplicated, but complications can arise when issues like finances or child arrangements are involved, which can lengthen the timeline. While it is not always possible to avoid court in a divorce, we view it as a last resort. We believe in exploring alternative dispute resolution methods first. Options such as mediation and collaborative law offer constructive ways to resolve matters outside of court, promoting a more amicable and efficient outcome. Our experienced team is committed to helping you navigate the divorce process in the most effective way possible, reducing conflict wherever possible.
