Family Law - Divorce

Wilkin Chapman provides comprehensive support for anybody experiencing a family dispute. Our team of family law solicitors have experience in dealing with all aspects of divorce cases, from simple cases right through to the most complex divorce disputes involving large financial settletments.

There is only one ground for divorce and that is that the marriage has broken down irretrievably. That irretrievable breakdown has to be supported by one of five evidential grounds. Those grounds are, adultery, unreasonable behaviour, two years desertion, two years separation with both sides giving their consent to the divorce or five years separation.

The length of time it takes to go through the process can be between 4 – 6months but will depend on your particular circumstances. You can be assured that we will deal with your case as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Collaborative Law
