Can You Have a Quickie Divorce?
Newspapers love talking about ‘quickie’ divorces. We hear of celebs who seem to fast-track the system and get a divorce more quickly than the rest of us.
But there is no such thing as a quickie divorce. Whether you are an A-list star or a mere mortal, the divorce application process takes 26 weeks as a minimum.
Normally, the media reports about the Conditional Order in a divorce, which is a publicly available document. But there’s much more to a divorce than just the divorce application. You also need to divide up your finances, and if you want that to be legally binding, it needs to be enshrined in a separate financial court order.
And if you have children, there are their arrangements to consider.
All of these discussions can (and should) be happening alongside the 26-week divorce application process.
This sounds like a lot, and it is a lot, but if you manage it in the right way it will be OK. The starting point is to get as much information as you can. We have a free online course which sets out all the basics around the legal aspects of divorce. Feel free to take a look by following the link: Don’t Know Where To Start With Divorce.
