Our divorce service
Divorce
At Cullimore Dutton, we understand that divorce is a deeply personal and often challenging experience. Managing the legal and practical aspects can feel overwhelming during such an emotional time.
As of April 2022, couples can obtain a no-fault divorce, allowing them to state that their relationship has ‘irretrievably broken down’ without having to provide any other grounds for divorce or lay blame on their spouse.
With extensive experience in supporting individuals through divorce, we are here to guide you every step of the way. From preparing the initial application to securing a Conditional Order and Final Order, we’ll ensure the legal process to end your marriage is handled efficiently and with the utmost care.
By working with us, you can rest assured that every aspect of your divorce will be expertly managed. We’ll provide clear guidance and unwavering support, ensuring you fully understand each stage of the process.
Divorce financial settlements
Securing a fair financial settlement is a critical aspect of any divorce, and protecting your financial interests is important during this time.
Our experienced team often helps clients reach voluntary agreements outside of court using alternative dispute methods such as negotiation and mediation. We provide robust representation where court proceedings become necessary to ensure assets are divided fairly and appropriately.
When you choose us as your divorce lawyers, you’ll receive more personalisation, more sensitivity, and more expertise. Please get in touch to discuss financial arrangements today.
Child arrangements
For divorcing parents, concerns about the impact on their children can understandably be one of the most significant worries.
You must agree on arrangements for your child’s living situation, deciding who they will live with and how contact with the other parent will be managed. Whether children stay primarily with one parent or share their time between both, these decisions can be challenging.
Our solicitors for divorce are highly experienced in child arrangements, supporting parents through these discussions. We can help you reach an agreement with your ex-spouse through alternative dispute resolution methods, promoting cooperation and reducing conflict.
If an agreement cannot be reached outside of court, we can assist you in applying for a Child Arrangements Order to ensure your child’s best interests are protected.
High net worth divorce
For high net worth couples, we offer expert guidance in navigating the intricacies of complex financial arrangements.
Our team can assist in identifying and valuing various assets, including property portfolios, businesses, investments, and offshore accounts. Once all assets have been disclosed, we will work with you to negotiate a financial settlement that protects your interests and secures your future.
If you believe your ex-spouse may be hiding assets, we can provide strong legal representation to uncover and address these issues.

Who pays the solicitors fees in a divorce?
Usually, each person going through the divorce will be responsible for covering their own legal fees, including the cost of receiving legal advice, and the Court fees.
If you are concerned about fees, and have questions, our divorce law experts can help you.
What could I lose if I get divorced?
When you get divorced, you must reach a financial settlement with your ex-spouse, dividing all of your marital assets fairly between you. You may be legally required to share assets with your divorcing spouse, even where you are the sole owner of said asset, for example, in the case of a business.
It is difficult to determine which assets you might be required to share with your ex-spouse and, therefore, ‘lose’ a portion of. Each financial settlement is different and dependent on the circumstances.
A fair financial settlement is based on various factors, including each party's income and financial resources, the duration of the marriage, the health of both parties, any children involved, and several other factors.
Working with an expert divorce solicitor is well-advised if you wish to protect your assets during the divorce financial settlement process.
