Cripps Harries Hall

Divorce

Divorce can be distressing. We are here to help you through and to find a settlement that works for you.

What we do

There is only one ground for divorce in England and Wales, the "irretrievable breakdown" of the relationship, but this ground has to be supported by one of these five factors:

  • Adultery
  • Behaviour
  • Desertion for two years
  • Living apart for two years (where both agree to the divorce)
  • Living apart for five years

We can help you decide the best way to proceed in your particular circumstances, or help you with a judicial separation or a separation agreement if divorce is not right for you.

Why Cripps Harries Hall?

We are a highly experienced team of specialist solicitors, mediators and collaborators who appreciate how distressing divorce can be for you and your family.  We frequently deal with complex and sensitive cases, and we remain centred on you and your welfare at all times. 

Our goal is to achieve your divorce as painlessly as possible, emotionally and financially.
