There is only one ground for divorce in the UK, that of ‘irreconcilable differences’ due to:

• Adultery
• Unreasonable behaviour
• Desertion
• Separation of two years (divorce can be sought with consent of theother party), or;
• Separation of five years (no consent needed)

The divorce process takes around four to six months to finalise if there are no major complications. If you are seeking a divorce, it is crucial you seek expert legal advice, especially if you are an international couple and there may be a dispute over the jurisdiction the divorce will be heardin.

In divorce proceedings, each party has a duty to provide full and frank financial disclosure. If you believe your spouse may be hiding property, assets, cryptocurrency, stocks or shares, we can swiftly engage forensic accountancy experts who can trace assets both in the UK and in overseas jurisdictions.In addition, we can apply for an urgent injunction (known as a freezing order) to ensure assets cannot be disposed of or hidden while legal matters are proceeding.

We understand the philosophy and motivations of the English family law courts, which are known for providing generous settlements to the financially weaker spouse in high-net-worth divorce cases. Our London-based divorce solicitors are highly-experienced in settling financial settlement disputes via round-table negotiations and/or mediation, meaning agreement is reached without having the risk and stress of court proceedings.

When it comes to the family home, often the major asset in a divorce proceeding, we can assist with working out a solution that ensures you receive a fair portion of the property. In addition, if you have children, we can discuss the options available for ensuring they can remain in the family home while they are completing their education, and hence minimise further disruption to their lives.
