SHORT MARRIAGE DIVORCE
Many people probably feel that if they have not been married for many years, their short marriage divorce will be carried out quickly. However, whether a couple has been married for two years or 62 years, the length of time it takes to process a divorce application is the same.
Under English and Welsh family law, all couples must wait until 12 months after the date of their marriage or civil-partnership before they can commence divorce proceedings. Since the law changed in 2022, we have a system of no fault divorce which means the applicant simply needs to inform the Court that the marriage has broken down. They do not need to prove any wrong doing on the part of the respondent.
In many cases, where a marriage has been short and there are no children of the union, the divorce will be straightforward, but a financial settlement will still require careful negotiation and expert legal advice.
The family law team at George Ide LLP has many years of experience in providing a quality legal service to divorcing couples, with an emphasis on strong communication, cost-effectiveness, trust and integrity.
