The divorce process

Application

One or both spouses submit a divorce application to the court using the HMCTS Portal, citing irretrievable breakdown of the marriage without assigning blame.
1
2

20-week reflection period

After the application is filed, and your former spouse has responded to the petition, a mandatory 20-week reflection period begins. During this time, spouses may also exchange financial information using Form E and address any necessary child arrangements, including including the time your children spend with you both.

Conditional order

After the reflection period, the applicant(s) apply for a Conditional order (previously known as Decree Nisi). The court reviews the case and, if satisfied, grants the order.
3
4

6-week waiting period

Following the Conditional order, there is a mandatory 6-week waiting period before the final step can be taken.

Final order

After the 6-week waiting period, the applicant(s) may apply for the Final Order (previously known as Decree Absolute), officially ending the marriage.

Average 9-12 months

If more than 12 months have elapsed between obtaining your conditional order and applying for your final order, you will have to submit a short statement to support your application, explaining the delay.

Let's ask Anon

We both thank you for your attention and care related to this matter, and how much you have helped us both during this time. You have been exceptional.

Let's ask Mrs B

I met with Samantha Edwards and I was instantly put at ease. She was super friendly and as the meeting progressed i was very impressed with how professional, knowledgeable, and personable she was. I’ve never had to meet with a solicitor before so Samantha really did put my mind at ease with what to expect moving forward with my divorce and I real… Read morely felt like she has my best interest at heart and will do all she can to represent me in the best way possible. Divorce is not something I wanted, but now I am in this position I feel more confident with Samantha as my solicitor.

Let's ask Legal 500

‘Nicola Beasley is an asset to Stowe and her capabilities far exceed her level of relative experience. She is able to hold her own against partners of other firms. Her correspondence is always measured yet sufficiently robust and detailed. Her attention to detail is particularly impressive.’

Let's ask Mr S N

Pooja Patel helped me through cases involving my children and divorce. She is very supportive and was very amazing and got the results needed in very difficult circumstances. I’m thankful l had Pooja at my side and do not know what l would have done without her.

Let's ask Jennifer

Chelcie at Stowe law was amazing. She was informative, answered all my questions and a summary of the meeting was emailed to within the day. Excellent service.

Let's ask Mr H

May I thank Nastassia for such excellent service and support in my recent divorce which led to a successful outcome. Nastasia’s pleasant and caring nature was always appreciated at such an emotional time and kept me focused on the main issues. Her detailed knowledge, prompt attention to detail and professionalism were absolutely first rate. Toget… Read moreher with our Barrister, Charles Eastwood, what an impressive team. Thank you. I can thoroughly recommend Nastassia.

Let's ask Ms S

Jemma is a very experienced, very intuitive and very empathic solicitor. She has worked tirelessly to ensure the very best outcome for me and my children since our first meeting. She is also acutely aware of the emotional impact of what she is dealing with and has shown great patience while being able to progress matters as quickly as possible. She… Read more is confident and focused and I completely trust her professional judgement and extensive knowledge of family law. She also understands the complex issues involved in domestic abuse and has listened extremely closely to my story and my wishes. She has ensured the law has fully protected my children and myself during these proceedings. She makes me feel she has a personal investment in my family’s best interests all while maintaining an incredibly professional relationship as solicitor and client. She has helped me make difficult decisions and kept me strong and focused on the end results and the purpose of our work throughout proceedings. I would recommend Jemma to anyone dealing with a difficult divorce and needing a “human touch”. I believe this is what makes Jemma stand out from her peers. Her fearless strength and determination to get the best outcome but not losing sight of the need for delicate handling of her clients emotions and trauma when striving for this.

Let's ask Ms C

I will just say that I have been more than happy with the service you have provided. I felt that you totally understood my situation and that I could easily talk to you about things, for that, I thank you very much. I would not hesitate to use your company again...Once again thank you, from a very happy client.
