Question 1

What is divorce law?

Accepted Answer

Divorce law in the UK involves the legal process of ending a marriage or civil partnership.

The key legislation governing divorce is the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020, which removed the ability to make allegations about the conduct of a spouse and allows couples to end their marriage jointly. The act also includes a minimum reflection period of 20 weeks between the start of proceedings and application for a court order, while removing the ability for a spouse to contest a divorce, except on limited grounds.

A divorce solicitor provides legal advice and guidance through the divorce process, assisting in drafting and reviewing legal documents, including the divorce application and financial settlements. Divorce solicitors also play an important role in negotiating and mediating between spouses to reach agreements on issues like child arrangements, financial support, and the division of assets. In contested cases, they can also represent clients in court proceedings.
