Divorce solicitors in Colchester, Manningtree, and Frinton-on-Sea

The law on divorce in England and Wales is governed by the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020, which allows couples to apply for a “no-fault” divorce without assigning blame.

Our experienced divorce solicitors in Essex will prepare all necessary documents and support you throughout the process. We always aim to resolve matters efficiently and fairly – giving you space to focus on your future.

Separation solicitors you can trust

If you’re not ready to divorce, a separation agreement can help define clear terms while you live apart. This formal document sets out financial and parenting arrangements and provides reassurance for both parties.

Our separation solicitors can prepare and advise on these agreements to ensure they reflect your individual needs and long-term goals.
