After an initial meeting with the client, we will discuss which of the grounds they wish to petition under. We will normally provide this advice after listening to the full background of the case.

There will often be times where the grounds over-lap and it is therefore advisable to choose the ground that will prove the least contentious.

How long does the divorce take to finalise?

Divorce filing can take up to between four to six months to finalise, but may take longer, depending on whether there are any family assets that need to be divided, if there are any unresolved financial issues or if the other party fails to acknowledge the divorce papers.

A divorce case in theory should be relatively straight-forward from a legal perspective. However the reality is that even simple divorces can be hiding multiple of hidden issues. The spouse may have disappeared or refuse to acknowledge the papers. The parties may disagree on the grounds of the divorce. Whatever twist or turns the process may take, you can be assured that we will be at your side.

It is not necessary for you to attend Court but if there is a dispute regarding the grounds of divorce or cost, you may be required to attend Court in that instance. In all instances, we offer fixed fee divorces.
