Divorce


It is a sad fact that a large percentage of marriages end in divorce. Divorce is an unpleasant thing for anybody to go through, it is a stressful and worrying experience. However, at Richard Sedgley & Co Solicitors we can help you through this in a sensible and non-confrontational way.

There is only one ground in order to be granted a divorce and that is that the marriage has irretrievably broken down. This ground then has to be supported by one of the following five facts:-

  1. Adultery
  2. Unreasonable behaviour
  3. You have lived apart for a period of 2 years (and the other party consents to a divorce on that basis)
  4. You have lived separately for 5 years
  5. Desertion without your consent for at least two years

During our initial free consultation we will advise you as to which of these facts would be best for you.
