Understanding divorce and separation
Divorce is the legal process of ending a marriage. In England and Wales, the process now operates under a no-fault system, meaning it is not necessary to assign blame in order to apply for a divorce.
While the divorce itself legally ends the marriage, it does not automatically resolve financial matters or arrangements for children. These issues must be addressed separately to ensure clarity and long-term security.
Separation can also involve important decisions about property, finances and living arrangements. Early advice can help you understand your rights and avoid future disputes.
Our role is to guide you through the process clearly and sensitively, while protecting your legal and financial interests.
