Understanding Divorce & Your Legal Options
Divorce is the legal process of ending a marriage. In England and Wales, the only legal ground for divorce is that the marriage has broken down irretrievably.
Under the current no-fault divorce system, you do not need to prove that either spouse was responsible for the breakdown. You can apply individually or jointly, provided you meet the legal requirements.
Generally, you must have been married for at least one year before applying.
Although the process has become more straightforward, obtaining specialist legal advice can help you understand your rights and avoid unnecessary complications.
Our divorce solicitors in Chapel Allerton provide guidance tailored to your circumstances, whether you are considering separation, preparing an application or responding to divorce proceedings.
How We Support You Through Divorce
At Milson Legal Solicitors, we take a modern, practical approach to resolving family matters. We recognise that divorce can be stressful, hurtful and emotionally draining.
Our aim is to reduce unnecessary conflict while helping you make informed decisions about your future.
We can provide support with divorce, including:
- Understanding the divorce application process
- Preparing or responding to divorce proceedings
- Explaining legal timescales and requirements
- Understanding financial matters arising from separation
- Discussing arrangements involving children
- Exploring constructive ways to resolve disagreements
We encourage agreements wherever possible, helping clients move forward with dignity.
Divorce Finances & Financial Settlements
An important point to understand is that divorce proceedings do not automatically resolve financial matters.
The legal process of ending a marriage is separate from deciding how property, savings, pensions and other matrimonial assets should be divided.
Even after a divorce is finalised, financial claims may remain unresolved unless appropriate legal arrangements are made.
Seeking advice early can help you understand your financial position and the options available for reaching an agreement.
Our team can explain how financial arrangements may affect your circumstances and what steps may be appropriate before finalising your divorce.
Our Approach to Divorce Proceedings
Our divorce solicitors in Chapel Allerton focus on providing clear advice throughout the legal process.
1. Initial Consultation & Advice
We listen to your circumstances, discuss your concerns and explain the available legal options in plain English.
2. Understanding Your Next Steps
We explain the relevant divorce procedures, documentation and potential financial considerations so you know what to expect.
3. Managing Your Divorce
Where instructed, we assist with the appropriate legal steps and keep you informed as your matter progresses.
4. Planning for the Future
We help you understand any outstanding issues, including financial arrangements or matters concerning children, so you can make informed decisions.
Transparent Divorce Fees & Tailored Packages
Many people delay seeking legal advice because they are concerned about the cost.
At Milson Legal Solicitors, we pride ourselves on being transparent about legal fees, helping you understand the costs involved before proceeding.
We offer agreed fixed-fee divorce packages where suitable, alongside tailored arrangements based on individual circumstances.
Fixed-fee packages may not be appropriate where additional disputes or complex issues arise.
Divorce fees are separate from the costs of resolving matrimonial finances. Court application fees may also apply.
Contact our team to discuss the likely costs for your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does A Divorce Take?
In England and Wales, the minimum legal process generally takes around 26 weeks, although administrative delays or individual circumstances can extend this.
Do I Need My Spouse's Agreement To Divorce?
Not usually. Under no-fault divorce legislation, one spouse can make a sole application without the other’s agreement.
Does Divorce Automatically Divide Our Finances?
No. Financial arrangements must be addressed separately. Legal advice can help you understand whether a financial order is appropriate.
Can I Get Help If My Divorce Is Complicated?
Yes. Our family law team can explain your options where financial disagreements, child arrangements or other difficulties arise.
