Divorce & Finances
Grounds for Divorce
You can get divorced in England or Wales if all of the following are true:
- you’ve been married for over a year
- your relationship has permanently broken down
- your marriage is legally recognised in the UK (including same-sex marriage)
If you do not want a divorce, you can get a legal separation so you can live apart without ending the marriage. You might also be able to annul the marriage. You can apply for separation or annulment during your first year of marriage.


No-Fault Divorce
The introduction of no-fault divorce in 2022 allows couples to obtain a divorce without the need to prove fault or wrongdoing by either party.
This can make the process of obtaining a divorce less contentious, but it also has some potential disadvantages for couples to consider before deciding whether it is the right option for them.
