Divorce is rarely easy, but the process itself doesn’t need to be complicated or combative. With the introduction of No-Fault Divorce in England and Wales, separating couples now have a clearer and less confrontational way to legally end their marriage. At Lyons Bowe Solicitors, we’re here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you understand your rights and options.

The No-Fault Divorce law, introduced in April 2022, allows couples to legally separate without having to assign blame. Before this change, one spouse had to prove wrongdoing such as adultery or unreasonable behaviour, or wait years to divorce. The new system recognises that sometimes relationships simply come to a natural end.
Under the No-Fault Divorce process:
For many, the key benefit is reduced conflict. By removing the need to place blame, separating couples can focus on practical matters such as children, property, and finances. This can make the process smoother, faster, and often less stressful.
Additional benefits include:
While every case is different, the typical process looks like this:
The minimum timeframe is around six months, but this can vary depending on your circumstances.
Yes, while the legal process may seem more straightforward, a divorce involves more than ending a marriage. Issues such as financial settlements, property division, and childcare arrangements often require professional advice to ensure your interests are protected. At Lyons Bowe, our experienced Family Law team can guide you through the process, help you negotiate agreements, and represent you where necessary.
At Lyons Bowe, we understand that every family is unique. Our team offers clear, compassionate, and practical advice to support you through your divorce and any related matters. We’ll help you move forward with confidence, focusing on the future rather than the past. If you’re considering a divorce or want to learn more about how No-Fault Divorce could affect you, contact our Family Law team today.

Forget the confusing lingo and overly wordy explanations. Our app makes sense of it all. Seamless, convenient and designed with you in mind.
The team at Lyons Bowe have been great, replying promptly to any questions and always helpful. The progress updates throughout the process, has been very helpful and really keeps you informed as to where you are within the timeline.
Excellent service. Quietly attentive, sympathetic listeners, and efficient practitioners, all that a worried applicant could wish for. And especially unusual in this day and age....
Honestly I've never wanted to review solicitors before, they've been ok and have done their job at varying timescales. From the start, my partner and I have commented every single time when something happened how quick they are, and they're a delight to communicate with too! And their app is brilliant and has made things so much easier. We will use in the future and will not stop recommending.
I recently used Lyons Bowe Solicitors and had the pleasure of working with Holly as my point of contact. From start to finish, the service was outstanding. Holly was professional, approachable, and incredibly efficient - she kept me updated throughout the entire process and made everything feel smooth and stress-free.
Rhea, and everyone so far at Lyons Bowe, have been truly fantastic. Excellent communication, chasing me rather than me chasing them, very pleasant in conversation and always ready to help. Highly recommend to anyone.
Everything was done quickly and efficiently and the app means you are kept informed every step of the way. Thank you.
