Divorce & Family

Understanding no-fault divorce

How the no-fault divorce process works, step by step.

Since 2022, neither party needs to prove fault to divorce in England and Wales — the process is now more straightforward, though finances and children still need resolving separately.

What this covers
  • Sole and joint applications
  • The statutory reflection period
  • Conditional and final orders
  • How costs are usually handled
The application itself is often the most straightforward part of the whole process.
