Before you begin the legal process of ending your marriage, it’s important to understand what you will need to do. For example, we can make sure the English Courts have jurisdiction to deal with the divorce and can advise you if you married abroad. You will have to make sure your case can proceed on one of the five facts that prove you have grounds for divorce. In order to divorce, you need to have been married for more than a year.
