&#038; Dissolution Services The divorce system received a much needed overhaul with the introduction of the new No Fault Divorce in April 2022 under the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This simplified the process making it easier for individuals to undertake this themselves without the need to prove separation or assign blame.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This replaced the old requirement for parties to prove one of five ground for divorce.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You do still have to meet certain requirements for a divorce and these are: You have been married for over a year; Your relationship has permanently broken down Your marriage is legal in the UK (including same-sex marriage) Nonetheless we understand that navigating the complexities of divorce or dissolution can be emotionally challenging and legally intricate. At Sheryl Perry Solicitors, our experienced team of family law solicitors is dedicated to guiding you through this difficult process with compassion, expertise, and personalised attention. Comprehensive legal support Our divorce and dissolution services encompass a wide range of legal matters, including: Divorce Proceedings :These are now online through a court portal and as before, the dissolution of marriage still requires the consent of a court.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The process commences with the completion of a D8 Divorce Petition which will be issued by the court and needs to be acknowledged by the other party.\u00a0\u00a0 If the other party acknowledges the divorce then you are notified by the portal at various stages of the divorce.\u00a0\u00a0 If the other party fails to respond then you will need to file another form to request the court continue without their involvement, proving they have had sight of the petition. Legal Separation :For couples who wish to live apart but remain legally married, we offer guidance on obtaining a legal separation, including negotiating separation agreements and addressing financial and child-related matters. Dissolution of Marriage :In cases where both parties agree to end the marriage amicably, we assist with filing for dissolution, helping clients navigate the process efficiently and effectively.
