Our divorce solicitors make separation simpler
You’ve already had to face the dissolution of a relationship. So whether you’re requesting a divorce or are coming to terms with your partner’s wishes, we want to make it as easy as we can. Optimal Solicitors are here to take some of the time, stress, and second-guessing out of your divorce proceedings.
We take an honest, sensitive approach to these cases. We’ll analyse the grounds for divorce, bring all the right documents together, build a financial settlement in your favour, and if children are involved, put their needs first. Optimal can also take communication off your hands, both with the court and your partner’s solicitor, if you need us to.
We have extensive experience in many kinds of separation, including those for annulments and civil partnerships. In just a few months, you could put the past behind you and move forward with your life.
Find a divorce lawyer you can rely on
Bringing up the past can be difficult, even if your relationship has simply come to a natural end. We’ll advise you sensitively on the best course of action and, where necessary, draw on our wider knowledge of family law. From childcare responsibilities to issues such as domestic abuse, we cover it all.
Not every case ends up in court either. We’ll do what we can to resolve matters amicably between you and your partner. We can arrange a mediator to support discussions over things like financial settlements, and will work with you to create a solid case to achieve the outcome you’re seeking.
Throughout the process, we’ll assist you in:
- Changes to a will in the wake of separation – giving more of your estate to someone else, for example.
- Filling in the divorce application form with information from your marriage certificate and other paperwork.
- Coping with challenges if your partner doesn’t agree to the divorce.
- Deciding who will live with any children, if you have them, and what reasonable visiting rights might be.
- Applying for new visas if you rely on a marital visa for the UK.

FAQs
To get divorced in England, you have to choose one of five main reasons. They are:
- Adultery has occurred between you
- You can’t live with their behaviour anymore
- One of you has left the other already, at least two years ago
- You’ve been amicably separated for two years and want to finalise it
- You’ve been separated for five years, and they don’t have to agree to divorce
Additionally, you must have been married for over a year. If you’re the person seeking divorce, you’ll list the reasons on a D8 form, pay court fees of £550, and apply for a decree nisi at the same time.
