Divorce
To obtain a divorce, you must have been married for at least one year, and be able to prove that your relationship has irretrievably broken down by citing one of these five facts:
- Adultery
- Behaviour
- Desertion
- Separation of two years with consent
- Separation of five years without consent
However, from 6th April 2022, you will be able to apply for a ‘no-fault divorce’ which means that you can divorce without having to apportion blame for the marriage breakdown.
Regardless of your reasons for getting a divorce, we will discuss the divorce process with you, step by step, and make sure you get the advice you need on children law arrangements and financial settlements.
Children and Divorce
If you and your partner divorce, the important decision around where any children may live can be a difficult one to resolve.
We will work collaboratively with you and your former spouse to come to amicable arrangements on matters, such as:
- Decisions regarding which parent your children will live with and contact arrangements
- Financial arrangements for the children and child support
- Practical parenting issues such as decisions on which schools the children should attend
If your children are living with you, you may wish to apply for child maintenance for your children.
We can help parents to work together to agree on the amount of maintenance between themselves. If this is not possible, an application can be made to the CMS (Child Maintenance Service), a government-run agency that can calculate and collect child maintenance payments. The amount you will receive in child support will be based on the CMS child support formula.
Our Family Lawyers always aim to settle matters through outside of court, however where this is not possible, we can guide you through the Court process where a Judge will decide disputed children related matters.

Divorce Settlements
One of the biggest worries separating couples may have when they divorce is how to divide their assets and protect their finances.
A Divorce Settlement is an agreement between you and your spouse that separates your money, assets and property. If you cannot reach an agreement, you or your spouse could apply to Court for a Financial Court Order.
Every family situation is unique and will be treated as such by the Courts. Some of the assets you may be entitled to receive include:
- Money including savings, investments or business assets
- Property including the transfer of the family home
- Pensions
- Spousal maintenance
A fair settlement should be ordered by the Court without prejudice to gender. A woman may be able to claim spousal maintenance, particularly if the husband has been the higher earner within the relationship or the woman has experienced career disadvantage through being the children’s primary carer, and will continue to do so after the divorce.

Delivering excellent results
Calm, professional and communicative
Ammarah Balouch’s guidance and preparation made the first hearing much more manageable. From the start, she was well-prepared and communicated clearly, explaining each stage, so I knew what to expect. Because the case involved my daughter, it was emotionally challenging for me. However, Ammarah remained calm and professional throughout. She ensured the key points were clearly articulated and kept the discussion focused on my daughter’s best interests. Her practical advice, steady support, and responsive communication reduced my stress and boosted my confidence. Following the hearing, we achieved a significant milestone in establishing contact with my daughter, which had previously been made difficult by my ex-wife. This outcome highlighted the effectiveness of Ammarah’s approach and preparation, and I would confidently recommend her to anyone needing support in a family matter.

Kind and supportive throughout
Following my initial consultation with Fullers Family Law I chose Fullers to manage my Divorce proceedings and my Financial Matters / Financial Remedy. In all aspects of my case Fullers Family Law have been excellent. I must however specifically mention Asia who has handled my financial matters and been a tower of strength through a most difficult time. I have found Asia to be calm, confident, highly knowledgeable, efficient and honest with a kind and reassuring manner even when I doubted a fair and reasonable settlement was possible. Throughout the process which, through absolutely no fault on Asia`s part, resulted in the case going before the Courts. Asia was professional, supportive, caring and provided clear, realistic advice and guidance. I am absolutely certain that without Asia I would not have been able to secure what I consider to be a very fair and reasonable settlement. I can genuinely recommend Fullers Family Law and specifically Asia Razaq-Miah.

Outstanding attention to detail
I had the pleasure of working with Reena Bhanderi for my divorce case, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the beginning, Reena was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate, guiding me through what was a very challenging time. She took the time to explain every step of the process in clear terms, always ensuring that I felt informed and supported. Her attention to detail and dedication to achieving the best outcome for me was outstanding. Reena was always responsive, and her calm and reassuring approach made a difficult situation much easier to manage. I am extremely grateful for her expertise and would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a solicitor. Thank you, Reena, for your excellent work!
