Farnborough family lawyers – supporting you both in and out of court

When it comes to representing our clients’ best interests, we combine in-depth legal expertise with a focused, individual strategy and unmatched attention to detail. Our first choice is always to negotiate a fair resolution outside of court, but we are experienced litigators who can bring about a favourable outcome if required.

Our firm offers personalised legal services and advice tailored to each client’s individual needs. Our team will support you through every aspect of divorce and other types of separation, both practical and emotional, from the initial stages to the final resolution.

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.

5
6

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.

Alternative Dispute Resolution – Family Law Solicitors

Our divorce lawyers are known for their proficiency in litigation, but court proceedings can prolong the process, increase costs, and cause added stress. That’s why we also offer alternative dispute resolution options, such as mediation, arbitration, and collaborative law, to help clients find mutually beneficial solutions and agreements on financial, child-related, and other family matters outside of court. Along with legal support, we provide an understanding and compassionate approach and connect clients with a network of family support professionals, such as coaches, therapists, and parenting groups, for additional assistance.

Protecting your financial position – Family Law Solicitors Farnborough

Our collaborative efforts with the internal accounting department will ensure a comprehensive understanding of the financial assets within your marital relationship. This information will be used to craft the most favourable financial settlement possible. Our in-house team is well-versed in a variety of specialist areas, including tax, property, valuations, accountancy, and pensions, which means that you can expect a full range of expert knowledge to be applied to your situation.

Emma joined us in September 2017 and is the Managing Partner of our Esher, Guildford & Brighton offices. She advises on all aspects of family law and assists clients going through a separation whether they are married, in a civil partnership or unmarried.
