    • After speaking to Preenay Chohan yeaterday my situation was made a lot clearer and he has given me some options to consider going forward, in what I can only describe as an horrendous situation I have found myself in. He was understanding and compassionate. And I will not hesitate to get back in touch if and when I need to clarify anything.

    • I contacted Preenay for help with a non-molestation order and child custody case after my previous solicitors failed me and I couldn’t get Legal Aid. Their service was exceptional. They were understanding, professional, and knowledgeable. I finally got the protection my children and I needed. I highly recommend their services

      Danny Dixon
    • I can’t thank Preenay enough for everything he did. When I first asked for help I didn’t know who to turn to or what to do and he helped me from start to finish and offered endless support throughout. I genuinely would not have been able to get through everything if it wasn’t for Preenay. The words I write just can not do the help he gave justice.

    Everything About No-Fault Divorce
    Faster. Easier. Amicable.

    No-fault divorce is a new type of divorce that was introduced in the UK on April 6, 2022. It allows couples to get a divorce without having to blame each other for the breakdown of their marriage. To get a no-fault divorce, you simply need to apply to the court and state that your marriage has irretrievably broken down. There is no need to provide any evidence of fault or wrongdoing. No-fault divorce now has a 20-week waiting period to give couples time to reflect, reconsider, or plan for the future.

    The best part is, couples can now apply for a no-fault divorce online, handling the process themselves and only paying the court fee, without needing to hire a lawyer.

    Grounds for Divorce in the UK

    Adultery

    If your spouse has sexual intercourse with someone other than you, this is considered adultery. It is the only ground for divorce in the UK that requires proof of fault. To prove adultery, you must provide evidence that your spouse had sexual intercourse with another person.

    Unreasonable Behavior

    If your spouse’s behavior has made it difficult or impossible for you to continue living with them, you may be able to get a divorce on the grounds of unreasonable behavior. Unreasonable behaviour can encompass a wide range of behaviours, including physical or emotional abuse, financial abuse, addiction or neglect.

    Desertion

    If your spouse has left you and refuses to return, you may be able to get a divorce on the grounds of desertion.

    Two Years Separation with Consent

    If you have been separated from your spouse for two years and both of you agree to the divorce, you can apply for a divorce on the grounds of two years separation with consent.

    Five Years Separation

    If you have been separated from your spouse for five years, you can apply for a divorce on the grounds of five years separation, even if your spouse does not agree to the divorce.
