    • 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.

    What is No-Fault Divorce, and How Does it Work?

    The introduction of no-fault divorce in England and Wales has revolutionised the way couples can end their marriages. Gone are the days of assigning blame and unnecessary conflict. This new law prioritises a more amicable and efficient approach to divorce. Now the divorce processes are simple, less contentious, and, with our help, affordable.

    Here’s how the process of filing the No-Fault Divorce works and how we’ll support you:

    • Filing the ApplicationYou’ll start by submitting a divorce application. You can apply on your own (sole application) or together with your spouse (joint application). You don’t need to provide reasons or assign blame—just a simple statement that the marriage has broken down irretrievably. We’ll help you complete and submit this application correctly, so you’re set from the start.
    • The 20-Week Reflection PeriodOnce your application is submitted, you'll be given a 20-week reflection period. This gives you and your spouse time to think things over and prepare for what’s next. During these 20 weeks, we’re here to assist with any document preparation, help you organise your responses, and guide you on necessary arrangements
    • Conditional Order (Formerly Decree Nisi)This court order confirms that the court agrees your marriage can legally end, though it’s not final yet. Our McKenzie Friends make sure all your paperwork is correct and that there’s no delay in receiving your Conditional Order.
    • Final Order (Formerly Decree Absolute)Six weeks after receiving the Conditional Order, you can apply for the Final Order, which legally ends the marriage. We’ll guide you through this last step, ensuring everything is in place so you can confidently close this chapter.

    How Is No-Fault Divorce Different From Previous Divorce Laws?

    Divorce in England and Wales has changed for the better. The introduction of the No-Fault Divorce under the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2022 means a simpler, less stressful process for everyone involved. Here’s what’s different:

    1. No Blame, No Conflict

    Before, you had to prove your marriage had irretrievably broken down. To do this, you had to blame one of the following:

    • AdultryIf your spouse had sexual intercourse with someone of the opposite sex. But it didn’t include emotional or same-sex relationships.
    • Unreasonable BehaviourIf your spouse behaved in a way that made it impossible to continue living together.
    • Two Years of SeparationIf you were separated for at least two years and your spouse agreed to the divorce.
    • Five Years of SeparationIf you had been separated for at least five years, regardless of your spouse’s opinion.
    • DesertionIf your spouse left you for at least two years.

    Apply Together or Separately

    In the past, one person had to file for divorce and the other person was called the respondent. This often led to conflict and unnecessary drama. Now, both of you can apply jointly for the divorce if you agree. It’s called a joint application, making it much easier and less stressful.

    If you prefer to apply alone, you can still do that, but the process is straightforward and without blame. It’s no longer a “him vs. her” situation.

    No Long Waits for Divorce

    Before, you could only get a divorce after two or five years of separation or if your spouse was at fault. But with the new law, there’s no need to wait that long. You can start the process right away, with just a simple declaration that the marriage has broken down.

    Now, there is still a minimum 6-month wait. This includes a 20-week reflection period, where both of you have time to think things over, followed by the final stage to get your Final Order.

    FAQs: No-Fault Divorce UK

    McKenzie Friend for TOLATA Claims UK

    How long does a no-fault divorce take?

    The process usually takes around 6 months. This includes:

    • A 20-week reflection period after filing the application.
    • A 6-week wait between the Conditional Order (formerly Decree Nisi) and the Final Order (formerly Decree Absolute).

    We can help you stay on track so there are no unnecessary delays.

    Can I apply for a no-fault divorce without my spouse?

    Yes, you can apply as a sole applicant. Alternatively, you and your spouse can submit a joint application, making the process more amicable.

    Can my spouse contest a no-fault divorce?

    It’s very rare. The new law only allows limited objections, such as jurisdiction issues. This makes the process smoother and less stressful.

    What’s the cost of a no-fault divorce?

    The court fee is £593, but we offer budget-friendly support to help you through the process without spending thousands on solicitors. The following consultations start at £100 after 30-Mins of free consultation with us.

    Do I need to attend court for a no-fault divorce?

    In most cases, no. However, if there are disputes over finances or child arrangements, court involvement may be required. We’ll help you prepare if this happens.

    What is the cost difference between using a McKenzie Friend and a solicitor?

    Our services are considerably more affordable than hiring a solicitor. Traditional divorce representation can be costly, often starting at several thousand pounds. While our services are designed to provide the same level of guidance and support at a fraction of the cost.

    What if we have children or shared assets?

    In cases involving children or shared finances, our McKenzie Friends offer guidance on managing these additional complexities. We can assist you in completing relevant forms for child arrangements or financial settlements, making sure these issues are addressed during the divorce process.
