Prestwich Divorce Solicitors

If you are looking for a solicitor in Prestwich who is experienced in the handling of divorce proceedings, contact the family law department at Clough & Willis. As one of the North West's premier law firms, we have over sixty staff spread between our three offices in the Manchester metropolitan borough of Bury. Our years of experience allow us to handle the often traumatic subject of divorce in a professional and empathetic manner.

As a firm we are able to advise you on the required grounds for divorce under UK law, and are happy to provide a thorough breakdown of potential divorce costs, enabling you to make an informed decision about how to proceed.

Whilst the reasons behind your divorce may be obscure and complex, they are required to be defined in relation to one of the following brackets, in order to qualify as justifiable grounds for divorce:

Unreasonable behaviour : If you cite unreasonable behaviour as grounds for divorce, you must be able to prove that the behaviour in question has made it impossible for you to continue living with your spouse.

Adultery: If your partner has had consensual sexual intercourse with another person, and this can be proved in a court of law, adultery can be used as grounds for divorce.

Desertion: If your spouse has stayed away from home for over two years without your consent, desertion may be used as grounds for divorce.

Separation for at least 2 years: If this is used as grounds for divorce, the other party's consent must be sought.

Separation for at least 5 years: In this situation, the consent of the other party is required.

At Clough & Willis, Prestwich, we realise that divorce is a thoroughly unpleasant and stressful process, and will therefore endeavour to provide you with clear and reasoned legal advice regarding which of the above grounds for divorce best suits your situation. We always approach divorce cases from a non-confrontational standpoint and attempt to secure an appropriate level of ancillary relief for our clients.

If you are considering filing for divorce, and are looking for an experienced solicitor in Prestwich or the surrounding area, contact the divorce team at Clough & Willis on freephone 0800 083 0815.

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.

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
