How Our Hereford Divorce Solicitors Can Help

Divorce is the legal process of ending a marriage, but obtaining the divorce itself is often only one part of separating your lives.

Issues involving finances, property and children may need to be dealt with separately. Our solicitors for divorce in Hereford can advise on the wider legal issues arising from your separation as well as the divorce application itself.

Divorce Applications

Divorce in Hereford follows the law applying throughout England and Wales.

A divorce application can be made by one spouse alone or jointly by both spouses.

We can help with:

  • Starting divorce proceedings
  • Sole applications
  • Joint applications
  • Responding to proceedings
  • Difficulties serving documents
  • Conditional orders
  • Final orders
  • Understanding the divorce timetable

Under the current procedure, someone cannot dispute a divorce simply because they do not want the marriage to end or want to delay proceedings; a genuine legal reason is required.

Divorce Financial Settlements

Divorce itself does not automatically determine what happens to your property, pensions, savings, investments or businesses.

Financial matters may include:

  • The family home
  • Additional property
  • Farms and agricultural land
  • Business interests
  • Savings
  • Investments
  • Pensions
  • Debts
  • Maintenance
  • Inherited assets

Where agreement is reached, the financial settlement can potentially be formalised through a court-approved consent order.

Child Arrangements After Divorce

Our family law solicitors can advise parents about:

  • Where children will live
  • Time with each parent
  • Weekends and weekdays
  • School holidays
  • Birthdays and special occasions
  • Parental responsibility
  • Education
  • Medical decisions
  • Relocation
  • International travel
  • Child arrangements orders

Where parents cannot reach agreement, negotiation, mediation or Family Court proceedings may need to be considered.

Fixed Fee Divorce

Where appropriate, our fixed fee divorce solicitors in Hereford can provide a clear price for specified divorce work.

Separate work may be required for:

  • Financial settlements
  • Consent orders
  • Property
  • Pensions
  • Businesses
  • Land
  • Child arrangements
  • Court proceedings

Divorce and Separation

We can also advise if you have separated but are not yet ready to divorce.

This may involve:

  • Separation agreements
  • Property arrangements
  • Financial responsibilities
  • Children
  • Judicial separation
  • Civil partnership dissolution

High Net Worth and Complex Divorce

More complicated cases can involve:

  • Valuable property
  • Several properties
  • Farms
  • Agricultural land
  • Businesses
  • Partnership interests
  • Significant pension funds
  • Investment portfolios
  • Trusts
  • Inherited wealth
  • Overseas property
  • Complex income arrangements

Specialist valuation, pension or accountancy evidence may sometimes be required.

How Does Divorce Work in Hereford?

Step 1: Get Divorce Advice

Before beginning proceedings, consider whether issues involving property, pensions, businesses, children or other assets also need to be addressed.

Step 2: Submit the Divorce Application

An application can be made by one spouse or jointly.

Once HMCTS issues the application, the statutory timetable begins.

Step 3: Apply for the Conditional Order

You normally need to wait 20 weeks after the divorce application is issued by the court before applying for the conditional order. (GOV.UK)

You remain legally married after the conditional order is granted.

Step 4: Resolve Financial Matters

Before finalising your divorce, consider whether matters involving property, pensions, businesses, savings and other finances need to be resolved.

Step 5: Apply for the Final Order

You normally need to wait at least 43 days — 6 weeks and 1 day — after the conditional order before applying for the final order.

Current HMCTS guidance also advises considering whether financial remedy proceedings are required before obtaining the final order.

Divorce Financial Settlement Solicitors in Hereford

For many separating couples, dealing with finances is more complicated than completing the divorce application.

Our divorce financial settlement solicitors in Hereford can advise on identifying assets, obtaining disclosure and working towards an appropriate settlement.

Questions commonly include:

  • Does the house have to be sold?
  • Can one spouse stay there?
  • Can ownership be transferred?
  • Who will pay the mortgage?
  • How will children’s housing needs be addressed?
  • What happens if only one spouse legally owns the property?

Possible solutions include sale, transfer, refinancing or balancing property against other assets.

Financial disclosure can include:

  • Bank accounts
  • ISAs
  • Shares
  • Bonds
  • Investment funds
  • Managed portfolios
  • Other investments

Pensions should be considered alongside property and savings.

Relevant arrangements can include workplace, personal, defined benefit and defined contribution pensions.

Complex pension arrangements may require specialist advice.

Business-related divorce issues may include:

  • Limited companies
  • Partnerships
  • Family businesses
  • Company shares
  • Commercial premises
  • Director remuneration
  • Dividends
  • Retained profits

Independent valuations can sometimes be required.

Whether maintenance is appropriate will depend on factors including income, financial needs, earning capacity and the wider settlement.

Where an agreement is reached, a consent order can be used to formalise financial arrangements and make them legally binding once approved by the court.

Frequently asked questions

Costs depend on the complexity of the matter. Straightforward divorce work may be suitable for fixed-fee pricing where available, while financial, property and children matters generally involve additional work.

How long does divorce take in Hereford?

The same statutory timetable applies throughout England and Wales. There is normally a 20-week period after issue of the application before the conditional order, followed by at least 6 weeks and 1 day before the final order.

You do not generally need a solicitor merely to submit a divorce application, but legal advice can be valuable where finances, property, businesses, pensions or children are involved.

Not merely because they do not want a divorce. A genuine legal reason is required to dispute the divorce itself.
