Divorce Application

Ending a marriage is a significant step, and it is important to approach the process with clear legal guidance. At Chan Neill Solicitors, our family law team supports clients through each stage with practical, straightforward advice tailored to their circumstances.

In England and Wales, divorce is based on the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage under the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020. A divorce can be started by one party or jointly, without the need to prove fault, allowing for a more constructive and streamlined approach.

Our solicitors are experienced in managing matters from start to finish, from preparing the initial application to progressing proceedings efficiently through the court. We aim to minimise stress and uncertainty, ensuring you are supported at every stage.

We also advise on cross-border situations. Our team has experience assisting clients with international elements, including cases involving overseas marriages. We provide clear guidance on whether the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, and advise on the most appropriate way to proceed to protect your position.
