The way to begin getting divorced is by getting an application or Form D8 and submitting this to the courts for £612. You can either apply for this as a sole applicant or alongside your ex as joint applicants. We always recommend finalising this as soon as possible to prevent any hold ups which could cause further costs.
We recognise that this process is incredibly stressful and overwhelming, so if you need legal support, our North Shields divorce solicitors are here to help. With over 50 years of experience, you can trust we’ve got the expertise to guide you through the process with ease.
The length of the divorce process depends on the complexities of the case. If it is a simple divorce, it usually takes between 6-8 months.
If your case is more complex though – due to financial ties, child arrangements, or disputes – the process will take far longer.
You’re going through the motions of separating and then you’re asked to respond to divorce application. Talk about a stressful situation. To respond to an application for divorce, you need to confirm you have received it and whether or not you choose to dispute.
Our lawyers know this is tricky, especially with all the legal technicalities. When you choose Stowe Family Law, you’re choosing a specialist team who has years of experience. We’ll listen to your circumstances and guide you through the process with continued support, so you feel confident about your future post-divorce.
Our children’s lawyers in North Shields have been helping families in this area with their child custody for years.
We recognise that getting divorced is trying for the whole family, but especially for children. You’re attempting to stick to the routines and keep things peaceful, yet it can still be difficult for them – especially when organising child arrangements (previously known as child custody).
We’ll work with you to design a schedule that works for the whole family and prioritises the wellbeing of your children.
Absolutely we can. We recognise that few people know the way dissolve a civil partnership, but we’re here to help.
You can only dissolve your partnership if you have been in it for at least 12 months. Once here, you’ll be able to receive the same entitlements as divorcing couples. We’ll be by your side to answer any questions you may have as well as organise consequences of your dissolution, like child arrangements or financial settlements.
