To start divorce proceedings in England or Wales, you need to have been married for at least one year. The marriage does not have to have taken place in England or Wales but you must spend most of your time or have the bulk of your interests rooted in either of these countries.
When you’re ready to start the divorce process, you’ll need to provide a picture of your marriage certificate and pay a court fee of £593.
The only reason you can give on your divorce application is that the marriage is irretrievably broken down. If this sounds like your current situation, it’s time to take the first step.
Getting a divorce is no longer as tough as it used to be but it can still be a time-consuming process.
Filing an application requires a lot of paperwork and admin that can make the process last up to 4 – 6 months.
But with our fixed-fee structure, and expert solicitors by your side, you’ll know upfront what the cost of your divorce will be.
Stage 1 – Issue a petition
Stage 2 – The court will send this petition to your spouse
Stage 3 – Your spouse can now file a response or disposed service is acquired
Stage 4 – You put through an application for a Conditional Order
Stage 5 – An application for the Final Order is made
Stage 6 – You receive a Divorce Certificate
