As divorce specialists, our aim is to make the process of divorce as straight-forward as possible. We will provide sound legal advice on your situation and explain all the options open to you. Whilst the process of getting a UK divorce can be quite simple, agreeing a financial settlement, dividing property and matters involving children can be more difficult to resolve.
Annulment is a declaration by the court that a marriage was not legally valid or had become legally invalid. Under English law an annulment may be granted for a number of different reasons, including if the marriage hasn't been consummated, if either party was already married at the time of your marriage and other more technical legal reasons.
From a legal perspective, divorce is simply the ending of a contract in law. It involves the completion of certain items of paperwork which must be filed with the courts. The courts levy a fee for handling this paperwork, currently 550. There will also be the cost of any advice you obtain from a lawyer and their help in completing the divorce paperwork.
Getting a divorce is fairly straightforward. It is the issues like agreeing a financial settlement, dividing property and matters involving children which can take time to sort out. This is why it is important to take qualified legal advice from someone specialising in family and divorce law, at an early stage.
To get a UK divorce you must have been married for more than one year. The procedure for obtaining a divorce under the divorce law of England and Wales follows a sequential set of steps with various documents completed and filed at Court. Problems tend to arise when documents are completed incorrectly or there is disagreement between the parties involved.

I approached Richard England from Woolley & Co Solicitors after he was recommended by a friend. I'm glad I did. Richard represented me in my divorce case and provided me with a 'no nonsense' joined up and common sense way of working to tackle the other side's lawyers' aggressive approach. His experience and calm manner helped me get through a very stressful time and we ended up with the outcome I was looking for. Highly recommended for someone going through a divorce who needs an honest, personable and results driven service.
