Divorce
The breakdown of a marriage can be a very emotional and stressful experience. Other factors may arise, such as disputes regarding the division of assets or the children. At Wyeth & Paul Law, we are here to support you through this experience and to offer you guidance in a cost-effective manner by offering you out of court solutions to settle your case.
To obtain a divorce in England and Wales, the husband and wife must have been married for one year and one party must have lived in England and Wales during the last year leading up to commencing the divorce proceedings.
No Fault Divorce
The introduction of the ‘no fault’ divorce which came about on 6th April 2022 sees a shift away from any party needing to blame the other for the breakdown of the marriage, with contested divorces becoming a thing of the past preventing unnecessary court hearings and, hopefully, reducing costs and time.
It is anticipated that by removing ‘fault’, parties will be able to focus on the really important issues upon separation, such as the arrangements for the children and the division of their financial assets, although all of these issues are dealt with separate to the actual divorce process itself.
These changes to the divorce law mean that couples can access a less complicated divorce process, potentially minimising legal expenses, and lengthy court proceedings. If you are considering applying for divorce or dissolution, it’s still essential that you seek the advice of an expert divorce solicitor.
If you need assistance with your no fault divorce and help to progress your financial and/or children, matters swiftly to resolution, we are able to offer an hour’s advice in person, by Zoom, or over the telephone with the advice in writing for a fixed fee.
