Since the introduction of no-fault divorce in April 2022, ending a marriage in England and Wales is more straightforward. As a result, some people choose to submit their own divorce application online, particularly where matters seem amicable. However, while the application process itself may be simpler, divorce remains a legal process with long-term consequences. Issues around children, finances, property, pensions and business interests are often far more complex than they first appear. This is where many discover that managing matters alone can leave them exposed. Even couples who agree almost everything between themselves often need legal advice to ensure those agreements are fair, workable and legally binding. Consent orders, for example, are essential if you want to prevent future financial claims. Without one, your ex-partner may still be able to make a claim years after the divorce is finalised.
