Divorce can feel overwhelming, but at Fair Result, we’ve created a proven, step-by-step process to help you navigate it with clarity and confidence. In 2025, with shifting legal landscapes and evolving financial complexities, our transparent, fixed-fee approach ensures that you can focus on your future without worrying about spiralling costs or hidden surprises.
1. Acknowledging the Emotional Impact
Divorce is one of life’s most emotional and challenging experiences. It’s essential to recognise and process these feelings, rather than suppress them. Many people find that seeking emotional support can make a world of difference during this time.
Tips for self-care during divorce:
- Consider joining a support group to connect with others who understand your situation.
- Seek counselling or therapy to work through your emotions in a healthy way.
- Prioritise self-care through activities like exercise, mindfulness, or spending time with loved ones.
At Fair Result, we not only focus on the legal and financial aspects of your divorce but also recognise the importance of addressing your emotional wellbeing.
2. Understanding the Financial and Legal Landscape in 2025
The divorce process in England has evolved over the years. With changes such as the introduction of the no-fault divorce law under The Divorce, Dissolution, and Separation Act, the legal framework is now more streamlined. However, financial clarity remains crucial.
Key divorce trends in 2025:
- Longer average timeframes: On average, the time to a conditional order in sole divorce cases is now around 36 weeks, with the full process from application to final order taking approximately 49 weeks. Joint divorce cases tend to be slightly quicker, with an average of 30 weeks to a conditional order and 43 weeks from application to final order.
- Increase in divorces among older adults: The rise of “silver splitters” reflects changing attitudes toward relationships in later life.
- Shifts in divorce applications: While January remains a peak month for divorce enquiries, overall divorce rates fluctuate based on factors such as economic pressures and societal trends.
At Fair Result, we emphasise the importance of financial preparedness. From property division to pensions, we help you navigate the complexities with transparency and clarity.
