Divorce & Separation

Find out how the Lowry Legal’s team of divorce and separation lawyers can help make the process as smooth as possible.

About Divorce & Separation

Going through a divorce or separation can be incredibly complex and stressful. This is true for both same and opposite sex relationships.

Cases are often multifaceted and can include things like family trusts and businesses, or an international element. By regularly representing business owners, entrepreneurs, high-profile individuals and professionals, we have extensive experience in dealing with even the most complicated of scenarios.

When dealing with such circumstances, you need to rely on specialist divorce and separation lawyers who can handle everything with ease. You need to work with Lowry Legal.

Divorce Procedure

1

When you speak to Lowry Legal’s divorce and separation lawyers about your circumstances, whether it be a same or opposite sex divorce or dissolution of your civil partnership, we will ensure that your journey is as smooth as possible. There will be no legal jargon, unless you ask for it.

2

We will take you through the divorce process and you can then decide whether you want us to deal with all the documentation on your behalf, or you would prefer to handle it yourself using our guidance. The legal process and logistics of obtaining a divorce has been simplified substantially by the creation of a portal with the courts. We can show you how to use it, or take care of it for you — whatever works best for you.

You may also have seen that “no fault divorce” is now available. This came into force in April 2022 and has simplified the process even more. You will still need your marriage certificate (or a certified copy of it) and you will also need to pay a fee, but the whole process can be done online, without pointing the finger of blame. Additionally, couples can apply jointly if they wish. There is also a reflection period of 20 weeks built into the process to encourage partners to settle issues around their finances and arrangements for children if practical within this timeframe.
