DIVORCE
Although many people think that with so many marriages
ending in divorce the mechanics for obtaining one must always
be simple, sadly this is not always the case. The law still
requires grounds for divorce and you will often require assistance
with choosing the appropriate facts and preparing a divorce
petition. If there are children then you will also need to
prepare additional documentation relating to their position.

| The speed at which a divorce
progresses is mostly dictated by the speed of the response
from the other party and the Court. Most divorce proceedings
are concluded within 6 months, subject only to resolution
of finances and any separate proceedings in relation to children.
If you are the Petitioner in the proceedings, you may have
some or all of your legal costs met by the other party, depending
on the facts of your case.

| Again, we will not deliberately be confrontational
and we see the contents of the divorce petition as a means
to an end if both parties believe the marriage has broken
down. Allegations relating to the behaviour of one party,
for example, will be kept to the minimum necessary to obtain
a divorce and often we attempt to agree the content of the
petition with the other party before the petition goes to
the Court.
Contrary to popular belief, the divorce proceedings themselves
can be civilised and amicable. |
