Once you have established that you have grounds for divorce we aim to guide and support you through the legal process, looking after your interests and where appropriate working with the other side to resolve as many areas of potential conflict as possible.

If you decide to start divorce proceedings we will draft your divorce petition and prepare the relevant documentation which you need to file at court and ?serve? on the other party. Once the other party has been served with the petition and the relevant documentation they will acknowledge receipt of this by completing and returning an acknowledgement of service form. We will return this form to the court together with a document or an ?affidavit? which confirms that the contents of your petition are true.

A district judge at the court will then consider whether on the basis of your petition you are entitled to what is known as a ?decree nisi? and that you have successfully established the grounds for a divorce. From pronouncement of decree nisi, after the lapse of a six week minimum waiting period, we would apply on your behalf for the issuing of a ?decree absolute? which is confirmation that your marriage has been dissolved. Where the parties to a divorce co-operate, we would envisage completing your divorce in approximately six to seven months.
