Shlomit Glaser explains Why choose to have a solicitor when going through a divorce
Outline of a typical divorce process
One of the parties applies for a divorce petition
If successful, both parties will be informed and receive a copy of the divorce petition
You can then apply for a ‘decree nisi’, which states that the court can find no reason that you shouldn’t divorce
Six weeks after the decree nisi application has been accepted, you can apply for a ‘decree absolute’ to formally end your marriage
In most cases there is no need for you to be in court for these stages of the process. You only need to attend court if an agreement cannot be reached on the arrangements for children or for the financial aspects of your divorce.
These steps are in place to give you and your ex-partner time to discuss finances, child custody and other issues before the marriage officially comes to an end.
