Woolwich Divorce Solicitors

When a marriage ends, it can be a painful and emotional time for the whole family but if you have made the decision to split then our Woolwich divorce solicitors will guide you through the legalities.

If you tied the knot 12 months ago or more, you can apply for a divorce providing that you can satisfy a court you have good grounds.

Ending a marriage is not the easy option as our Woolwich lawyers are fully aware and we would always advise you and your spouse to try mediation before making the split permanent.

One of the common reasons for divorce is adultery and if you wife or husband has had sex with somebody else and you can no longer bear to live with them, this is valid grounds in the eyes of the law.  You cannot however file for divorce if it is more than six months since you discovered the adultery.

Unreasonable behaviour covers a multitude of sins when ending a marriage and can include physical violence and verbal abuse, drunkenness and drug taking plus your spouse witholding money from you.

If your husband or wife has left you without good reason or without your agreement then you may file for divorce on the ground of desertion. 

When a married couple have lived apart for 5 years or more, even if one of you disagrees you still have grounds for divorce.
