Divorce or dissolution is the legal process used to end an unhappy marriage or civil partnership. This process is dealt with separately to other issues which could include child custody, financial settlements and the splitting of property and assets.

In order for a divorce or civil partnership order to be granted, you simply need to state that your marriage has irretrievably broken down.  The new process for "no fault divorce" was introduced in April 2022.
