The divorce process

As one of the North West’s leading divorce solicitors, we have the expertise and resource to provide an objective perspective and deal with even the most complex divorce situations.

In order to get a divorce in England and Wales, it is a legal requirement that you have been married for at least one year. The Petition must state that the marriage has irretrievably broken down by providing evidence that one of the following reasons apply:-

That the other party has committed adultery
That the other party has behaved in a way that is unreasonable
That the the parties have lived apart for at least two years and they both agree to a divorce
One party has deserted the other for at least two years
The parties have lived apart for at least five years

During or after the divorce proceedings, either party is entitled to apply for a financial order whether by way of a maintenance order, a lump sum payment or an adjustment of their interest in property, pensions and other assets owned solely or jointly.
