Our Divorce Process

Our divorce solicitors follow a structured five-step approach designed to achieve the best possible outcome while minimising stress, conflict, and costs. This comprehensive process ensures all aspects of your divorce are properly addressed while protecting your interests and those of any children involved. 

1. Initial Consultation and Strategy  

Our divorce solicitors conduct a thorough assessment of your situation, explain your options clearly, and outline the likely process ahead. We discuss your priorities, concerns, and objectives to develop a strategy that achieves your goals while protecting your interests. 

2. Financial Disclosure and Asset Assessment  

We gather comprehensive financial information from both parties to ensure fair settlement negotiations and full transparency. Our divorce solicitors identify all assets, liabilities, income sources, and future financial needs to build a complete picture of the matrimonial finances. 

3. Child Welfare Planning  

If children are involved, we prioritise their welfare in all arrangements and decisions, ensuring their needs are properly considered and protected. Our divorce solicitors understand that children’s interests must come first and work to minimise the impact of divorce proceedings on their lives. 

4. Settlement Negotiation  

Our skilled divorce solicitors negotiate directly with your spouse’s representatives to reach fair agreements on all issues including finances, property, and children. We explore all options for amicable resolution before considering court proceedings. 

5. Court Proceedings or Final Agreements  

If agreement cannot be reached through negotiation or mediation, we provide expert court representation to protect your interests. However, most cases settle without final hearings, saving time, money, and emotional stress for all involved.
