Divorce Advice – How Pannone Solicitors Can Help
If you decide to issue commence divorce proceedings in England and Wales, it can be helpful to seek expert Divorce Advice. Pannone solicitors can assist you on all matters of divorce law, from start to finish.
Grounds for Divorce
Firstly, we can advise you upon whether the grounds for divorce are available. In England and Wales Your marriage must have irretrievably broken down because of which can be evidenced by one of the following facts:
- Adultery
- Unreasonable behaviour
- You were deserted (left) 2 years or more ago
- You have lived apart for at least 2 years and you both agree to the divorce
- You have been separated for at least 5 years and one of you does not agree to the divorce
We can then help draft a divorce petition to send to the court.
Defended Divorce
A divorce can be agreed by both parties (sometimes called a “quickie divorce”) or it might be defended by one side. Where it is defended, the case is usually heard before a court that must then decide if the divorce should be granted. In the event of a defended divorce, it is likely you will need further legal assistance and divorce advice as the process becomes significantly more complex.
Divorce and Children
In cases that involve children, the court needs to be satisfied their well-being is put first. Orders dealing with issues such as residence (who the child will live with) or contact (who the child should have access withhow often they should see a parent) can be made. In these circumstances a court also encourages approaches other than litigation such as mediation or collaborative law. At Pannone solicitors we can help you explore these options with confidential and trusted advice on divorce law, allowing you to choose which is best for you and your family.
Divorce Settlement
If it cannot be decided how assets should be split after a divorce, you can ask a lawyer to fight on your behalf. Pannone Solicitors have experience in negotiating divorce settlements, and we promise to do everything we can to achieve the best financial outcome for you.
