The divorce process

In England, the divorce process typically involves three main steps: filing a divorce petition, obtaining a decree nisi, and receiving a decree absolute. 

Filing a divorce petition

The divorce petition is the initial document that must be filed with the court to begin the process.

Obtaining a decree nisi

A decree nisi will be issued by the court, which is a provisional order that confirms the court is satisfied with the grounds for the divorce.

Receiving a decree absolute

Finally, a decree absolute is the final order that legally ends the marriage.

Throughout this process, our Family Law firm can provide guidance and support to our clients, ensuring they understand their legal rights and obligations and helping them navigate any complex issues that may arise. We aim to make the divorce process as smooth and stress-free as possible for our clients, providing compassionate yet effective legal representation.
