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 Conditional Order 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 Final Order that legally ends the marriage.

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