Divorce in the United Kingdom: how to go through the process correctly and without unnecessary stress
Divorce in the United Kingdom is not only a legal process, but also an emotionally difficult stage in life. Since 2022, the divorce procedure in the United Kingdom has become simpler thanks to the introduction of no-fault divorce, but even the simplified procedure requires careful preparation of documents and consideration of issues such as custody, finances and property. The legal marketplace Consultant offers comprehensive legal support to ensure that your divorce is handled efficiently and legally.
How to file for divorce in the United Kingdom: key requirements
To file for divorce in the United Kingdom, the following conditions must be met:
- you have been legally married for at least one year;
- one of the partners must be a permanent resident of the United Kingdom;
- an online application for divorce must be submitted through HMCTS or with the help of a solicitor;
- there is no need to prove the fault of the other partner (no-fault divorce).

The lawyers at Consultant will prepare your application, complete the documents, submit them to the court on your behalf and monitor the other party's response times.
Divorce and financial settlement: how to protect your interests
In addition to legally terminating the marriage, it is important to settle property and financial issues. The court may:
- approve a financial agreement between the parties (Financial Order);
- make a decision on the distribution of assets, pensions, loans;
- take into account the presence of children, joint property or business.

Our lawyers accompany negotiations, prepare agreements, and file applications with the court for financial settlement so that you do not lose your rights.
Divorce with children: what you need to know about custody and contact
If you have children, you will need to decide during the divorce:
- who the children will live with;
- how contact with the other parent will be arranged;
- who will be financially responsible.

We help you draw up Child Arrangement Orders, legally record custody arrangements, and provide support in the event of disputes.
