No Fault Divorce
Understanding No-Fault Divorce The introduction of no-fault divorce was a landmark shift in family law. Before 2022, you had to cite reasons like unreasonable behaviour or adultery, which often inflamed an already difficult situation. Now, you simply state that the marriage has broken down irretrievably.

We keep things as straightforward as possible. Here's what you can expect when you come to us:
- Step 1 — Free initial consultation: We'll sit down (or speak by phone/video) and listen to your situation. There's no charge for this first conversation, and no obligation to proceed
- Step 2 — Clear advice and a plan: We'll explain your options, outline the likely timeline, and give you a clear picture of costs before we do anything
- Step 3 — We handle the paperwork: From submitting your divorce application to drafting financial agreements, we take care of the legal formalities
- Step 4 — Regular updates: You'll never be left wondering what's happening. We keep you informed at every stage
- Step 5 — Resolution: Whether through agreement or court order, we'll see your case through to a conclusion that protects your interests
