Why Choose Us for Divorce Advice in Buckinghamshire?

Unlike some larger national firms, we offer close personal contact and local insight.

We aim to resolve matters constructively and without unnecessary conflict—but when needed, we will represent your interests robustly through court.
Our family law solicitors are based in Buckinghamshire and are experienced in handling:
- Divorce and civil partnership dissolution
- Financial settlements and property division
- Child arrangements, contact, and parental responsibility
- Pre- and post-nuptial agreements
- Divorce where there is domestic abuse or controlling behaviour
We work with sensitivity, confidentiality, and a focus on resolution. Wherever possible, we promote negotiated or mediated outcomes. But we are fully prepared for litigation when necessary to secure the best result.
Understanding the Divorce Process in the UK
The divorce process changed significantly with the introduction of no-fault divorce, making it easier for couples to separate without assigning blame. However, there are still legal and procedural steps involved—many of which can affect your financial future and family life.
The Key Stages of Divorce
- Filing for Divorce – One or both spouses submit a divorce application to the court.
- Acknowledgement of Service – The other party responds, confirming receipt and intention.
- Conditional Order – Once the court is satisfied, it issues a conditional order (formerly decree nisi).
- Final Order – This legally ends the marriage (formerly decree absolute).
While this seems straightforward, it rarely is. Issues around money, pensions, debts, business assets or children’s residence can turn a simple divorce into a complicated negotiation. That’s where we step in with guidance and structure, always keeping your long-term wellbeing in focus.
Financial and Children’s Matters in Divorce
Dividing finances during divorce is often the most difficult part of the process. We support clients across Bucks with fair, practical financial settlements that consider income, pensions, business interests, and property. We also help with spousal maintenance and clean break agreements.
When children are involved, we focus on ensuring their best interests come first. Whether you need a formal child arrangement order, support with relocation matters, or a contact plan that works for everyone, we’re here to guide you. Learn more about our Child Law Services.
