Understanding the Divorce Process

Since April 2022, the UK has introduced the No-Fault Divorce system. This means neither party needs to prove blame or fault — making the process simpler and less confrontational. Our McKenzie Friends help you navigate the online application, timeframes, and conditional/final orders, keeping your progress on track from start to finish.

1. Stage 1 – Application: File a joint or sole application for divorce online.
2. Stage 2 – Conditional Order: Confirm that all legal and procedural steps have been followed.
3. Stage 3 – Final Order: Officially end the marriage and finalise financial or parenting arrangements.

Financial Matters

Divorce often includes discussions about finances, pensions, or property. We guide you through Form E completion, help you understand what evidence the court expects, and assist with proposals that are realistic, fair, and properly presented.
