The new No Fault Divorce procedure will be dealt with through the Court online system. Whilst you can deal with the Divorce proceedings yourself, we would recommend you seek legal advice to avoid any pitfalls. Divorce has practical implications such as living arrangements, financial matters (including tax issues) and child arrangements.

The Divorce process can feel overwhelming. We have a specialist team who deal with all types of matters whether they are straightforward or complicated. We can support and advise you about all issues relating to the Divorce and guide you through the process efficiently.

Our team are members of Resolution who are committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes. We can help you achieve the right outcome for you and your family.

The new No Fault Divorce law comes into force on 6 April 2022.
