Martin Shepherd Solicitor’s take pride in our deep-rooted local expertise. Our experienced divorce solicitors are well-versed in the intricacies of family law, ensuring that you are kept fully informed about any changes to legislation that may impact your case. 

One such significant change is the implementation of the new Divorce Dissolution and Separation Act, which became effective on 6th April 2022. This groundbreaking legislation has transformed the landscape of divorce in the UK, offering a non-confrontational and straightforward approach to ending marriages and civil partnerships.

What you should know about Divorce Dissolution and Separation Act

One of the most remarkable aspects of this new law is the elimination of the need for blame in divorce proceedings. Here is what you can look forward to:

  • No Mandatory Separation: The requirement for a period of separation before initiating divorce proceedings is no longer in place.
  • No Blame Required: You no longer have to attribute fault to the other party for the breakdown of your marriage.
  • Simplified Process: You can now obtain a divorce based solely on the grounds that the marriage has irretrievably broken down, with no need for further accusations – a truly ‘no-blame’ divorce.
  • Immediate Action: Importantly, there is no need to endure a waiting period before starting proceedings (though please note that you must wait for one year from the date of marriage before applying for a divorce). 

 

Time to sort out the finances and the children. After the application has been acknowledged there is a 20 week period before applying for the next stage which gives time to agreet the financial settlement and the arrangements for the children.
