Frequently Asked Questions

How is child custody determined?

Courts decide custody based on the best interests of the child, considering each parent's situation, relationship with the child, and the child's own preferences if old enough.

How long does a divorce take?

Uncontested divorces can be finalised in 2-3 months. Contested divorces with disputes over assets or custody can take 6-18 months or longer.

Do I need a solicitor for divorce?

While not legally required, a solicitor protects your rights regarding property division, custody, support, and retirement assets. The cost is usually far less than the cost of mistakes.
