The New No-Fault Divorce

The Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 introduced no-fault divorce in England and Wales — removing the need to blame a spouse. We guide clients through the new procedure clearly and efficiently, helping to reduce conflict and focus attention on the practical matters of finances and children.

Our Process

How We Work With You

01

Application

We prepare and submit the divorce application — joint or sole — and advise on linked financial and children proceedings from the outset.

02

Conditional Order

After the mandatory 20-week reflection period, we apply for the conditional order. We ensure this is properly co-ordinated with any financial settlement.

03

Final Order

We apply for the final order — finalising the divorce. We advise on the impact on wills, pensions, and other financial arrangements.

FAQs

Common Questions

How long does a no-fault divorce take?

A minimum of 6 months from application to final order — due to the mandatory 20-week reflection period before the conditional order.

Does no-fault divorce affect the financial settlement?

No — financial settlements are dealt with separately under a financial order. We advise on both proceedings in parallel.
