Eligibility for divorce covers the basic legal requirements someone must meet before a divorce petition can be heard in England. It includes whether the parties are legally married and whether the petitioner has the appropriate connection to England and Wales, such as domicile or residency, to start proceedings here. A solicitor checks these rules, helps ensure a valid petition is filed, and explains what evidence is needed to establish the right to proceed.
The solicitor explains the critical time points and documents that confirm you meet the legal criteria to divorce, including marriage validity and your connection to England and Wales. They outline what evidence must be gathered and how defects could affect the petition, so deadlines and procedural steps are understood and protected from delays.

I would like to thank Maxwell Hodge for their work, it’s been a difficult time and not the most straight forward of circumstances to navigate. The team have gone above and beyond in supporting and getting things to the end goal. I can’t recommend them enough.

The divorce itself was made difficult by the other sides approach which increased the amount of time which was unnecessary based on the lack of assets available. I received excellent advice and service, the divorce issues had no reflection on the service I received as they were equally as frustrated as myself.

Tagged solicitors Ellena Pye and Fay Rothery
Fay Rothery, Charlotte Hirst and the SFL team have been absolutely superb. They gave me expert advice at all stages of my divorce and guided me through the process with accuracy. This made things very simple for me as a client. I was assisted with questions that I had succinctly, as I am, as many, not familiar with some legal terms and their implications. Any enquiries that I had, were swiftly and delicately responded to. SFL made me feel in control and satisfied with the decisions that I made, which is always difficult when going through this process. A very professional service and positive experience. Could not recommend highly enough!
