I expect my partner to challenge the Divorce

As no-fault divorce became law in England & Wales on the 6th April 2022, it is no longer possible to contest or challenge a divorce. You need to have been married or in a civil partnership for at least 12 months to commence proceedings. If however your partner isn’t happy about the divorce process they are more likely to make other elements of the separation process challenging such as agreeing children arrangements or a financial settlement. This is when it’s really important to have a specialist team of family lawyers by your side to support you through the process.
