The Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 introduces no‑fault divorce for England and Wales. It means a marriage or civil partnership can end without proving fault, focusing on the couple’s decision to separate and their arrangements for children and finances. A solicitor helps you apply for dissolution, whether jointly or disputed, and guides you through steps from petition to final order, including notifying the other party, completing forms, and liaising with the court. The process is shaped by the need to secure a fair financial settlement and orderly parenting arrangements.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The act fixes important steps and deadlines that affect a client’s position, such as the move from petition to decree nisi and then to the final order, with emphasis on timely, orderly resolution. A solicitor provides guidance on filing, documentary disclosure, and ensuring the court considers sensitive matters like children and financial settlements within the lawful framework and deadlines.
