A marriage or civil partnership can only be ended through court proceedings for divorce or dissolution of a civil partnership. Both sets of proceedings are broadly similar, and take about 6 months to complete (if all agreed).
Our experienced divorce solicitors can give you expert legal advice aimed at achieving the best possible outcome for you and your children. We aim to make the procedure of divorce or dissolution as simple, swift and amicable as possible, in line with the Resolution Code of Practice. We can offer both family mediation and collaborative family law as ways of reaching a solution.
You may still be unsure whether you are ready to divorce or end your civil partnership. We can discuss this, and talk about legal alternatives, such as judicial separation or a separation deed, as well as other alternatives including counselling and therapy.
If you are worried about family finances, children or domestic violence and harassment, we can advise you on your options. If you want help and advice please contact Nicola Harmon.
