Traditional Divorce

K J Smith have a team of experienced divorce solicitors to help you dissolve a marriage or civil partnership. The parties involved must have been married for more than one year immediately preceding the presentation of the petition. The grounds for a divorce are the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, and the petitioner must use one of five different facts to support this statement. Our divorce lawyers can help you if:

1.That the other party has committed adultery.
2.That the other party has behaved in an unreasonable way.
3.That the other party has deserted the petitioner for 2 years.
4.That the parties have lived apart from each other for a continuous period of at
least 2 years immediately preceding the presentation of a petition and the other
party gives their consent.
5.That the parties have lived apart for a continuous period of at least 5 years
preceding the presentation of a petition.

The process of divorce differs depending on whether it is defended or not. Most divorces proceed on an undefended basis, which is known as proceeding by way of 'special procedure'.
