Separation Legal Advice from Resolve Law Group

We handle both divorces and separation agreements. In some cases, clients come to us because they are certain they wish to end the marriage. However, a separation agreement is a way of determining whether that is what you really want, non-permanently. If you opt for a separation agreement, our legal adviser works with you, your spouse, and their legal adviser on a document that addresses children, property, income, and pension. These agreements keep the peace, but they also create a useful framework. If you decide to move forward with a divorce, the separation agreement will shorten the process.

The Five Grounds for Divorce

At Resolve Law Group, our Legal Advisers help individuals move on from their marriages and create a fresh start. Divorce law is complicated, but our team understands all the nuances of the law governing divorce in Worcestershire. For instance, there are five recognised grounds for divorce, which we must establish to move forward:

·         Adultery: whilst adultery is a recognised basis for divorce, it is not enough to merely suspect your  husband or wife of having sexual intercourse with another person. We do not advise clients to cite adultery in the divorce proceedings unless their spouse admitted to the affair because proving infidelity can be difficult.

·         Unreasonable Behaviour: As one of the most common  reasons cited for divorce, it is also one of the easiest for our Legal Advisers to use to file for divorce. It addresses a wide range of issues. If you feel your spouse has behaved in a way that makes it unreasonable for you to live with them, then contact us.

·         Two Years’ Separation with Consent: This applies to spouses separated for two years or less more. In this case, both parties must consent to the divorce before we can file for divorce on your behalf. If the other spouse does not consent, we can explore other options.

·         Five Years’ Separation: After five years of separation, there is no longer a consent requirement from either party. Once we establish a legally-recognised separation date, our Legal Advisers can begin the divorce process.

·         Desertion: Desertion occurs when one spouse leaves another for two years or more. While uncommon, this situation is helpful to those who have not seen or heard from their spouse in years because it does not require consent on the part of the other spouse.
