Divorce proceedings are required to formally end a marriage or civil partnership. Introduced in April 2022, the no-fault divorce is a more streamlined process that takes approximately six months and can be issued by one or both parties.
The Family & Matrimonial team at Sintons are very aware that separating couples may need guidance and support in relation to not only divorce but other issues arising from their separation. The team are well versed in providing advice and assistance in relation to areas such as financial matters, arrangements regarding children, enforcement of pre-nuptial agreements, as well as alternative dispute resolution processes to resolve these outstanding matters.
Our experience tells us that early information and early legal advice are very important before decisions are made about embarking upon the legal divorce process.
Should you wish to discuss anything, one of our specialists would be delighted to meet you to talk through your options and answer any questions. Please contact us at any time.
