Divorce and Dissolution

Ending a marriage or civil partnership is rarely straightforward, however amicable things are. Getting the legal process right matters, both for your peace of mind now and to avoid problems resurfacing later.

We guide you through applying for a divorce or dissolution, explaining each stage plainly and handling the paperwork on your behalf. Some people manage the application themselves, and that’s often possible if your situation is straightforward. Where it’s more complicated, whether that’s a dispute over the application itself, a question over jurisdiction, or wider issues that need resolving alongside it, we make sure nothing gets missed.

Legal aid is rarely available now for most divorce and family matters, although it can still apply if you’re taking part in family mediation and meet the financial criteria. We don’t carry out legal aid work ourselves, but we can point you towards mediation services and support you alongside them if that’s the right route for you.

We’ve seen what happens when people go through a divorce without proper advice: problems that resurface months or years later, usually at greater cost than getting it right the first time. We’ll make sure you understand the full picture before anything is finalised.

Getting it right the first time is usually cheaper than fixing it later.
