Apply for a decree absolute - this legally ends your marriage - you need to wait 6 weeks after you get the decree nisi before you can Unreasonable Behaviour Lived apart for 2+ years & joint agreement Lived apart for 5+ years Do I Need a Solicitor? A court will first recommend you attend mediation if you cannot agree on who should get what. A mediator is an impartial person that will aim to get the best outcome for both parties but they cannot offer legal advice. Seeing a mediator avoids you having to go to court and paying expensive fees. It will also save you time that lengthy court hearings can take and also be less stressful. However, if you both cannot come to an agreement during mediation, then you may need to seek legal advice and support from a solicitor. This is even more important if there are assets, property and children involved. Your solicitor will explain the divorce process, start the divorce action and keep you informed of how it is progressing. They will liaise with your spouse's solicitors and the courts and act on your behalf. It is important that you tell your solicitor openly about your assets and arrangements for your children. They will help you to reach an agreement in regards to the family home, finances and child custody. © Copyright Simpson Millar LLP Solicitors 2013
