If you are looking for an experienced team of divorce solicitors in Chorley, or in fact, anywhere within the PR6 or PR7 postcodes, look no further. The divorce lawyers at Clough & Willis are more than capable of handling every aspect of your divorce proceedings in a professional and compassionate manner, at the same time ensuring you receive an appropriate level of ancillary relief at the end of the case.

Whether you are interested in learning more about divorce costs, you wish to discuss your reasons for divorce with a knowledgeable professional or you are trying to find out if your grounds for divorce are legally acceptable, our family law team can help.

Grounds for divorce usually fall under one of the following categories:

Unreasonable behaviour refers to any type of behaviour which has made it impossible for you to continue living with your partner. Courts are normally lenient about what they will agree to consider as unreasonable behaviour.

Desertion refers to situations in which your partner has been away from the family home for at least two years without your consent.

Adultery can be used as grounds for divorce only if you can prove that your spouse has consensual sex with another individual.

Separation for at least two years can be used as grounds for divorce; however you must seek the consent of your partner.

Separation for at least five years can be used as grounds for divorce without consent from your partner.

If you are unsure as to which category your situation falls under, don't hesitate to contact the divorce lawyers at Clough & Willis. As a firm, we provide free initial, no obligation consultations to all potential clients; to arrange yours, simply call freephone 0800 083 0815.  First Appointments generally available within 24 hours.

We have been using Clough & Willis for ten years and found them to be very efficient in all aspects of their work. What I like about their firm is that they cover a wide variety of legal services and are very quick to respond to our needs.

From first contact to the last, everyone has been very professional and reassuring through what has been an emotional and stressful time for us and without the help of your company it would have been much more difficult for me and my husband.

I was very impressed with your firm at the outset when I first called in November 2009 after my uncles death. All staff from the receptionist and secretary through to the Partners were professional, friendly and helpful and provided the best response out of the 3 Bury firms I called.

Lorraine, I would just like to say "thank you very much" for all your hard work and assistance in the letting of the above property. The negotiations were somewhat protracted, due to a breakdown on my client's side, and I feel that your persistence and hard work led to the eventual lease completion. I look forward to working with you in the near future. Kind regards, Neil Higson, for and on behalf of Nolan Redshaw Ltd
