FAQs

Does it make any difference who starts the divorce proceedings?

In terms of the practicalities of the divorce process, it makes no difference who instigates the divorce proceedings. The procedural outcome will be the same, irrespective of who formally begins the divorce process. There are many benefits of getting divorced online instead of hiring solicitors or doing it yourself.

Can we separate formally without getting a divorce?

An alternative to getting divorced is to obtain a separation agreement. This essentially sets out the financial arrangements between a married couple who decide to separate but are not yet divorced. But although it can be useful if a dispute arises, it is not a formal court document and is not legally binding.

Do we have to try mediation or counseling before applying for a divorce?

There is generally no requirement to undergo mediation or counseling prior to divorce. However, if there are contentious issues that cannot be resolved and need to be heard by a court, both spouses must first attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM). The MIAM essentially sets out the possibility of mediation and explains how it might help the couple to resolve their issues without going to court.

Do we have to go to court in person to get divorced?

If both spouses agree to the terms of a divorce, there will be no need to go to court. A contested divorce may end up in court, although it is advisable to attempt mediation first.

More detailed information is available on the FAQ page of our website.
