Documents to organise
Prepare the marriage certificate, identity and residence records, a short chronology, financial information, children’s records, relevant communications, notices, complaints and existing court papers. Preserve original electronic and documentary evidence.

Frequently asked questions
Is mutual-consent divorce always quicker?
It can be more predictable when all material terms are genuinely agreed, but statutory requirements, court scheduling, disclosure and the facts still matter.
Can consultation start by video call?
Yes, initial advice and document review can usually begin remotely. Court-specific filing and appearance requirements must then be confirmed.
