Frequently Asked Questions
Under the no-fault divorce system introduced in 2022, the minimum timeline is approximately 26 weeks (around 6 months) from application to final order. Financial and child arrangements are separate matters and may take longer if agreement cannot be reached quickly.
Yes. The majority of divorces are now handled administratively without either party needing to attend court, provided financial and child arrangements are agreed. If disputes arise over finances or children, a court hearing may become necessary — but we work hard to avoid this wherever possible.
The family home is usually the largest asset in a financial settlement. Options include one party buying the other out, selling and dividing the proceeds, or deferring sale until children reach adulthood. The right solution depends on your individual financial circumstances and we will advise you clearly on all options.
Both parents generally retain parental responsibility after separation regardless of marital status. Courts encourage arrangements that keep both parents meaningfully involved in a child's life. If agreement cannot be reached, the court will determine arrangements based solely on the child's best interests.
Immediately. We treat domestic abuse matters as emergencies. We can apply for a non-molestation order or occupation order on the same day in urgent circumstances. Please contact us now — your safety and your children's safety is our absolute first priority.
