Frequently Asked Questions
What is the divorce process in the UK?
In the past, getting a divorce meant pointing fingers or waiting a long time to finalise the process. To get a divorce, you had to say that your partner did something wrong, like cheating or acting unreasonably, or, if you didn’t want to play the blame game, you had to wait for two years to progress the end of your marriage.
But now family law has changed and we have "no-fault" divorce. This means you don't have to blame anyone or provide a reason for the end of the marriage. It is important to note that no-fault divorce has also made it more challenging for an ex-partner to contest the separation.
Having the best divorce solicitors in Leeds means that we are best placed to offer you advice and support if you have questions around no-fault divorce.
Divorce: Splitting Assets in the UK
How do you protect your pension in a divorce in the UK?
Protecting your hard-earned pension is one of the biggest concerns for many when they get a divorce. If you want to get a rough estimate about how your pension or other assets may be divided in a divorce settlement, you can use our divorce calculator to give you an idea.
Protecting your pension during a divorce is crucial. To do this, and to protect you against future financial claims it is really important that you have a financial settlement order which incorporates any agreement regarding pension claims when you get divorced. It is a legal document drafted by a solicitor and approved by the court. This court order can cover pension arrangements making sure it is fair for both of you to avoid future disputes. That’s why we recommend you use trusted divorce solicitors to advise you during this time.
Prenuptial agreements and postnuptial agreements

Family law solicitors can help you to understand who gets the kids in a divorce?
In a divorce, determining the arrangements for children is known as "child arrangements." These arrangements can be established through mutual agreement between parents, either individually or with the assistance of mediation with the help of family law solicitors.
When parents are unable to reach a consensus on child arrangements, the court may need to intervene. In such cases, the court's decision will encompass where the child will reside and who they will spend time with.
To make this determination, the court considers several key factors, including the children's age, their specific needs, and their preferences if they are of an appropriate age to express them. They will also look at whether educational, financial, and emotional needs can be met, along with other relevant factors. Ultimately, the court's objective is to establish arrangements that are in the best interests of the children involved.
