What It’s Like Working With Pinnington Law

When you use Pinnington Law as your Divorce Solicitor, here’s what’s included:

• You work with one dedicated divorce law specialist from start to finish.
  ○ Your solicitor manages the process, explains each stage clearly and keeps your matter progressing.
• We advise whether a sole or joint application is right for you.
  ○ We explain the practical differences and help you choose the best approach for your circumstances.
• We guide you through the no-fault divorce process clearly and efficiently.
  ○ Since April 2022, divorcing couples no longer need to blame one another or give reasons for the breakdown of the marriage.
• We prepare and manage the divorce application on your behalf.
  ○ This includes checking eligibility, preparing the application and helping with the required documents and court process.
• We support you through the 20-week reflection period and Final Order process.
  ○ We help you deal with practical matters alongside the divorce, including finances, property and arrangements for children.
• We make sure you understand what the divorce does and does not resolve.
  ○ The Final Order legally ends the marriage, but financial settlements, pension sharing and child arrangements are dealt with separately.
• You receive clear advice, direct communication and transparent pricing throughout.
  ○ We keep you informed, respond promptly and provide straightforward guidance from beginning to end.

For advice on divorce, finances or arrangements involving children, we’ll discuss your situation with you during your first conversation and agree the best next steps from the outset.

No-Fault Divorce and What It Means for You

Divorce law in England and Wales is now based on a no-fault system. This means you no longer need to blame your spouse or rely on allegations of unreasonable behaviour, adultery or separation periods to apply for divorce. Instead, the application is based on a statement that the marriage has irretrievably broken down.

For many people, this makes the legal process less hostile and allows separating couples to focus more constructively on practical arrangements. However, no-fault divorce does not remove the need for careful legal advice, particularly where there are financial matters, children or property to consider.

At Pinnington Law, we can advise whether a sole or joint divorce application is more appropriate, explain what information you will need, and help ensure the paperwork is completed correctly. Where the divorce is agreed and uncomplicated, we can help you progress matters efficiently and cost-effectively. Where wider issues are involved, we can provide the additional support needed to protect your position.
