At Ackroyd Legal, we’re committed to providing world-class divorce services, no matter the complexity. Our experienced Family Law Solicitors in London are here to guide you through the process, helping you make informed decisions and achieve your goals.

Understanding Divorce:

A divorce marks the legal end of a marriage. Even in this process, we strive to provide clarity and support. Key considerations include:

• Financial Division: We help navigate the division of finances and assets, including property.
• Child Arrangements: We assist in determining living arrangements, contact schedules, and financial support for children.

The Divorce Process:

• Application Submission: We’ll handle the divorce application, providing expert advice on its content.
• Response Period: The respondent has eight days to respond. Agreement or defence options are outlined.
• Court Hearings (if necessary): In defended cases, court hearings may be required.
• Decree Nisi Application: The petitioning partner applies for a decree nisi, subject to legal considerations.

Decree Absolute: Marks the legal end of the marriage.

Note: The divorce process typically takes 8-10 months, with undefended divorces being quicker and more cost-effective.

No-Fault Divorce Reforms:

Under the new government reforms, providing a reason for divorce is no longer necessary, streamlining the process.

Divorce Settlement and Your Future:

The final settlement determines the fate of your assets, finances, and, most importantly, your children’s well-being. We’re committed to minimizing conflict and helping you move forward.
