You cannot begin divorce proceedings until you have been married for at least a year.
To start, you need to submit an application to the court (Form D8) with a declaration that your marriage has broken down irretrievably.
This is usually made online via a court portal (although you can make a paper application) and requires a payment of £593.
You can apply for a divorce by yourself (sole applicant) or make a joint application with your ex-spouse (joint applicants).
Alternatively, if you receive a divorce application from your spouse, you are called the respondent in the legal process.
Getting this part right early is important in that it will help you to save time and money throughout your divorce process. As any family lawyer or family law solicitor will tell you, it can also make the entire process more amicable as you, and your partner, are clear from the start.
Here at Stowe, our Sunderland family law solicitors will support you through the process and offer professional guidance and advice to make your divorce or civil partnership dissolution as quick and convenient as possible. For more information, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our local family firm today.
The length of the divorce proceedings depends on a range of factors, including any financial issues, childcare concerns or other complexities.
An experienced family lawyer from Stowe can offer advice to help you speed up the process, and expedite everything we can to get you through this difficult period of your life.
Most divorces take around 6 – 9 months to complete, barring any serious complexities.

Ending a civil partnership takes a heavy emotional toll.
Known as dissolution, the path to dissolving a civil partnership is very similar to the process of divorce.
Dissolving a civil partnership can only be instigated after you’ve been in the partnership for a year.
You will be entitled to all the same benefits and entitlements as those who get divorced, and in a similar vein, thought will need to be given to the sharing of assets and the arrangements for your children.
To help you through the dissolution process, our civil partnership solicitors can provide practical guidance and support to help you to achieve your desired outcome.
At Stowe Family Law in Sunderland, we can provide up-to-date legal advice to help you get through one of the most difficult periods of your life. For more information, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Stowe’s leading family lawyers in Sunderland.
