Applying for a divorce is not as straightforward as some people think, and certain criteria must be met in order to apply for one. Our Northampton divorce solicitors will be able to guide you through the process.
To apply for a divorce you must have been married for a year or more, and must be able to prove the relationship has broken down for one of the following reasons;
Both partners have agreed to live apart, and have been doing so for two or more years
One partner has deserted the other, and you have been living apart for five years or more
One or both partners has committed adultery
There is domestic violence in the relationship
If this sounds like you, our family law solicitors can help. They know how hard going through a divorce can be, so do whatever they can to resolve the matter as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Our Northampton divorce solicitors have a wealth of experience when it comes to divorce, so there is no need for embarrassment. Whatever your case involves, our family law experts have seen it all before, and with 40% of today's marriages expected to end in divorce, you are certainly not alone.
Changes to the Legal Aid system in recent years means that now only cases involving domestic violence may qualify for financial assistance to apply for a divorce. Our legal team will be happy to look into the matter if you think you might be entitled.
If not, we will do our best to offer a fixed fee divorce package to suit your budget.
As well as our fixed fee divorce packages, we can also handle the following family law matters;
Adoption
Child maintenance
Contact agreements
Injunctions
Residence agreements
