Before you continue, please run through our checklist to make sure you are aware of these important points:
You must have been married for at least 12 months to start divorce proceedings
Any existing will may be affected by your divorce
Future re-marriage will affect financial settlements made now
Any matters relating to children or property must be carefully decided. Make sure you have discussed any doubts with a solicitor.
You must be agreed on the grounds for which you are petitioning your divorce. A solicitor can provide information about your options.
Divorce is always an emotional strain, but the actual legal procedure can be very straightforward:
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Complete the divorce petition, and the Statement of Arrangements for Children if any children under 18 are involved |
|
|
 |
 |
|
7 days later you must file the Affidavit in Support of the Petition and the Application for Special Procedure Directions with court |
|
|
|
 |
|
After approximately 4 – 6 weeks your decree nisi will be pronounced in court. You do not need to attend, and a copy will be sent to you. |
|
|
|
 |
|
6 weeks and 1 day from your decree nisi you must send the Application for your Decree Absolute to the court. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Your decree absolute should come through a few days later! |
It’s that simple. You can resolve an undisputed divorce in approximately 14 weeks!
