The law now allows couples to apply for a divorce without assigning blame. Instead, the application is based on the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.

Either one party can apply individually, or both parties can make a joint application. This change is designed to reduce conflict and allow couples to approach separation in a more constructive way.

Divorce does not resolve finances or child arrangements

It is important to understand that a divorce only legally ends a marriage.

It does not automatically resolve:
• Financial matters
• Property division


• Pensions


• Arrangements for children

These issues must be dealt with separately, either through agreement or court proceedings.

Through our experience in more traditional,
corporate legal environments, we saw that many clients were priced out of legal support or left uncertain about costs and process.
