Divorce Advice

Contending with a divorce can be a confusing and stressful period, leaving you with lots of questions regarding your rights and financial settlements. This can be especially difficult if your relationship with your ex-spouse is tense, often resulting in disputes.

At Glanvilles Damant, we specialise in helping people smoothly navigate divorce proceedings in a sensitive and empathetic manner. Whether you’re wondering what rights you may have with property or would like professional guidance regarding children, we can ensure you receive the outcome that is best for your family.

Our divorce solicitors on the Isle of Wight have proudly served the community for years and know how to solve conflicts without litigation, for the sake of the whole family. Please contact us today if you have any questions, or to discuss your case.

No Fault Divorce

Since 2022, divorce has become more accessible and amicable with the introduction of no fault divorces, meaning that couples do not have to place blame for the breakdown of their relationship.

Therefore, a more constructive and reconciliatory divorce is possible. This is also beneficial when thinking about the future of families and finances, as it is easier to proceed with settlement negotiations without litigation.

If you are considering a divorce, we can support you to apply for a no fault divorce, guiding you through each stage and ensuring a smoother transition into the next stage of your life.

At Glanvilles Damant, we can ensure that your no fault divorce is easy and puts your family first. If you would like more information on no fault divorces, our divorce solicitors on the Isle of Wight can help.

Divorce Financial Settlements

Negotiating the division of your finances with your ex-spouse is an essential aspect of a divorce that is unavoidable. It is, unfortunately, likely that tensions can arise and escalate quickly without the correct legal guidance.

Our family law solicitors on the Isle of Wight can help you reach an agreeable settlement out of court where possible. We will assist you in acquiring a Financial Order, which legally dictates the division of your finances and assets. While we always seek to achieve a resolution outside of court, we will represent you fiercely if necessary.

In instances where yourself and your ex-spouse are involved in a dispute around finances, we can help you obtain a Clean Break Order, which will prevent your partner from pursuing any financial claims against you in the future.

Please contact our expert divorce solicitors for any further questions you may have regarding divorce and finances.

High Net Worth Divorce

A high net worth divorce can be especially stressful given the value of assets that need to be divided. This can exacerbate tensions and cause disputes if not managed appropriately.

When dividing assets as part of a high net worth divorce, multiple properties, trusts, business and off shore assets can be involved, which can complicate proceedings.

We have extensive experience supporting high net worth couples in achieving what they deserve from complicated situations. Our specialist divorce solicitors at Glanvilles Damant will provide sensitive, practical solutions that allow you to move on and focus on the next stage of your life.

Civil Partnership Dissolution

If you wish to leave a civil partnership, the process is largely similar to getting a divorce. Dissolving a civil partnership can be a very strenuous, emotional experience. Rest assured; you can trust our specialist divorce solicitors to handle your circumstances sensitively.

We can make every step of the process easier, from the initial application for a dissolution, to obtaining the subsequent Final Order that denotes the legal end of your civil partnership.

Frequently asked questions about divorce

What is the process of getting a divorce?

The process of ending a divorce or civil partnership is straightforward, especially given the recent introduction of no fault divorces. To begin with, either you, your partner, or both, must apply to a local family court, either online or through a solicitor.

Following this, there is a required 20-week ‘cooling-off’ period, in which the couple should reflect on whether a divorce is the correct decision and plan for their respective futures.

Next, the applicant will apply for a Conditional Order that, if approved, will allow a judge to issue a Certificate of Entitlement dictating that the couple is entitled to a divorce.

A secondary wait period of six weeks and a day must then elapse before an application can be made for a Final Order. Alongside these processes, finances must also be arranged, with a Financial Consent Order necessary to ensure a legally binding financial settlement.

Once the Final Order is obtained, the divorce or civil partnership is officially ended. When taking into account each stage, getting a divorce can take a minimum of six months, which can be lengthened if complex matters regarding children or assets are involved.

How much will my divorce cost?

Costs vary depending on your circumstances and the level of support required, but some fees are unavoidable. Currently, you must pay a court fee of £593 to get a divorce. Furthermore, approval of a Financial Consent Order costs £53.

If the couple cannot decide on a financial settlement, there is a further £275 fee for the court to issue financial proceedings. Likewise, if you cannot agree on child arrangements, the fee is £232 to issue children act proceedings. 

Seeking legal advice and support when going through a divorce incurs additional charges from a divorce solicitor. Rest assured, when you work with our solicitors at Glanvilles Damant, we will do all that we can to settle your divorce arrangements out of Court, therefore keeping costs down.
