We prepare and submit the divorce application — joint or sole — and advise on linked financial and children proceedings from the outset.
After the mandatory 20-week reflection period, we apply for the conditional order. We ensure this is properly co-ordinated with any financial settlement.
We apply for the final order — finalising the divorce. We advise on the impact on wills, pensions, and other financial arrangements.
A minimum of 6 months from application to final order — due to the mandatory 20-week reflection period before the conditional order.
No — financial settlements are dealt with separately under a financial order. We advise on both proceedings in parallel.
