Both Preenay and Klaudia were excellent in supporting me with my child arrangements order; from the very first call with Preenay to discuss my situation, to the final hearing which Preenay attended, he's been very professional and informative throughout. Klaudia has assisted me mostly throughout the last 18 months and has always remained non-judgemental, professional and very understanding of my situation.

Great advice from the first phone call, which then continues throughout each steps with clear explanations.
Unlike some solicitors the terms used aren’t confusing nor is it stressful trying to speak to somebody to never receive a call back!
A phone call is welcomed and if you leave a message somebody will always get back to you shortly.
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:
Filling The Application
You’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 Period
Once 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:
Adultery
If your spouse had sexual intercourse with someone of the opposite sex. But it didn’t include emotional or same-sex relationships.
Unreasonable Behaviour
If your spouse behaved in a way that made it impossible to continue living together.
Two Years of Separation
If you were separated for at least two years and your spouse agreed to the divorce.
Five Years of Separation
If you had been separated for at least five years, regardless of your spouse’s opinion.
Desertion
If 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.

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.
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.
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.
