 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Aleeza Khan highly enough. Throughout what has been an incredibly stressful and emotional period for me and my family, Aleeza has been professional, compassionate, thorough and incredibly supportive.

What has stood out most is that I have always felt listened to. Aleeza takes the time to explain things clearly, goes through important documents with me properly and makes sure I understand both where I stand and what happens next. She has always responded to my questions with patience and has never made me feel that anything I have raised is unimportant.

Her communication has been excellent throughout. She is honest and straightforward while still showing genuine empathy for the people behind the case, which has made an enormous difference during some very difficult and uncertain moments.

I am also incredibly grateful for the encouragement she has given me personally. Having someone recognise the effort I have been putting in and take the time to tell me that has meant more than she probably realises.

Aleeza clearly cares about achieving the best outcome for the families she represents rather than simply treating matters as another case file. I have felt supported, informed and properly represented throughout.

Thank you, Aleeza, for everything you have done and continue to do. I am genuinely grateful to have had you representing and supporting me through this process. You are an absolute credit to your profession and to Southgate Solicitors.

FAQs

Can I get a divorce?

As long as you have been married for at least 12 months and your marriage has irretrievably broken down, you will likely be entitled to apply for a divorce.

Our qualified divorce solicitors will always discuss with you reasons for the separation and the divorce process.

If you do not meet the requirements to pursue a divorce, our expert solicitors will explore other options such as annulment or judicial separation.

Can my spouse defend the divorce?

Yes, but they will only be successful in pursuing a defence if they can show to the court that the marriage has not irretrievably broken down. Statistics show that the vast majority of defended divorces are not successful, and a divorce is usually granted.

Does my spouse need to agree to the divorce?

No, you do not need your spouse’s agreement to proceed with a divorce.

The new law introduced on 6 April 2022 now also allows spouses to issue a joint application for divorce.

We will always discuss the best options available to you to ensure your matter is dealt with swiftly and without delay.

How long will the divorce take?

An uncontested divorce usually takes between 6 – 9 months, minimum. However, it is always advisable to avoid obtaining the final order, which formally ends the marriage, until financial matters are agreed and approved by the court. This will likely lengthen the time to finalise the divorce.

Do I need to go to court to get a divorce?

Divorce is dealt with by the courts either on paper or online. It is very rare that you will need to attend court. There are very few situations where you will need to attend court such as when there are issues with who pays the costs of divorce or if the divorce is defended by the respondent.

My spouse has started the divorce process – what do I need to do next?

The court will issue your spouse’s divorce application and send you a copy along with an Acknowledgment of Service form for you to complete and return to the court.

The form is short and fairly straightforward. However, if you are unsure as to what you are signing or if you object to certain aspects of the application (e.g. a costs order), please do not hesitate to contact us to obtain advice from our expert divorce lawyers as to how best to complete the form.

We married abroad; can we get divorced in England?

As long as the marriage ceremony followed the legal process in the country where you married and you meet the jurisdictional requirements, you will be entitled to pursue a divorce in England.

Our experienced divorce solicitors can assess and advise on whether your marriage is considered a “legal” marriage and if you meet the requirements to pursue a divorce in England.
