    Hi, I have been looking on your main website but thought it might be quicker to get an answer here.
    Me and my ex have been split up for over 5 years. I have moved on and have a new partener and have child together.
    Can I get one of these new divorces I have read about or do I have to say we have been separated for a certin period of time?
    My ex is happy to go ahead as he is also in a relationship and there are no issues. Thanks in advance.

    Hello! Thank you for reaching out. You can indeed get a divorce under the new no-fault divorce law, which simplifies the process significantly. Since the introduction of this law, you no longer need to cite specific grounds for divorce or prove a period of separation.

    Here’s what you need to know:
    – You can petition for a divorce after being married for at least 12 months.
    – You simply need to declare that your marriage has irretrievably broken down.
    – The process involves a minimum 20-week reflection period, followed by a 6-week cooling-off period before the court grants a final order to formally end the marriage.

    Given that both you and your ex are in agreement, this should make the process smoother. Our Managed No Fault Divorce Service can handle everything for you for a fixed fee of £249, including VAT. This service ensures that the entire process is managed online, making it hassle-free and cost-effective.

    If you need more information or wish to proceed, please visit our Divorce Services page. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to call us at 01793 384029 or request a callback.

    Best wishes with your new chapter!
