Separation & Divorce


What if my ex and I cannot reach an agreement about our children?
If you and your ex agree about where your children will live, how often and when they will spend time with their non-resident parent, you do not have to complete any official paperwork.
However, many separated couples find it helpful to write down what has been agreed in a Parenting Plan, so that the agreement they have come to is recorded clearly.

What is mediation?
What is mediation? Mediation is a confidential, voluntary, and flexible process that helps people resolve disagreements with the help of a neutral third party. The third party, called a mediator, is impartial and does not take sides. The mediator's role is to help the parties involved find a solution they can all agree to.

How does the divorce process work?
The divorce process usually requires both you and your ex to take several actions. In brief, this involves submitting the divorce application, waiting for the 20-week 'cooling-off' period which starts once the divorce is issued, then applying for the Conditional Order. Six weeks and one day later you can apply for the Final Order.
