Notice: This video is an introduction and is not intended to be comprehensive legal advice. It sets out the basic points and the main principles of the subject covered. It is a summary and is in no way a substitute for carefully considered legal advice. Please speak to a lawyer for advice on your specific circumstances. We often get asked how to get a divorce, so our resident Family Law expert Justine answers the most frequent questions we get about Divorce in the UK. The video lays out the essentials of the grounds for how to get a divorce, the usual length of divorce proceedings, how we can assist with the division of finances, and whether your case would require court intervention. Among her answers, Justine offers insight into our own legal approach, and how we consider our clients’ situations. “Wherever possible, we try not to get the clients involved in court processes and will try to resolve things as amicably as we can”, she says, “Court is very much a last resort but unfortunately sometimes clients can’t agree things directly.” One common misconception is that there is more than one ground for divorce. There is in fact only one ground for divorce in England and Wales; irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. This is set out in section 1(1) of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973. However, to show the Court that a marriage has irretrievably broken down, one of five circumstances needs to be proven. These are: 1. Adultery, 2. Unreasonable behaviour, 3. Desertion, 4. Two years’ separation (with the consent of the other spouse), or 5. Five years’ separation (where there is no such consent required).
