Divorce
The decision to end a marriage is a serious one which should not be taken lightly. Nova Solicitors will assist you in making an informed decision and will deal with your matter compassionately, by providing you with the support and guidance needed through these distressing times.
It is important that you do not ignore any issues which you may be having within your relationship. We can arrange family counselling to try and resolve any disagreements which you and your partner may have.
However, if the marriage has irretrievably broken down, your partner may choose to start divorce proceedings. Should you receive correspondence from the Courts or solicitors, you must respond. If you have received a divorce application, Nova Solicitors will be happy to discuss your circumstances and provide you with specialist matrimonial advice.
In the event you wish to proceed with a divorce, Nova Solicitors will take your individual needs in consideration.
It should be noted that before you can start divorce proceedings you must have been married for at least one year and must be able to prove to the Court that there are no prospects of reconciliation.
There are five factual grounds which can be relied upon in a divorce:
- Unreasonable behaviour;
- Adultery;
- Desertion;
- Two years separation with consent;
- Five years separation (no consent required).
Nova Solicitors can represent you for a fixed fee and will advise you over the most cost-effective way to proceed with the divorce.
Providing guidance in a difficult subject for most to consider and discuss, ensuring your affairs are in Order, is part of our role, here at Nova Solicitors. We can provide the specialist advice and the help you need in these emotionally testing times.
