Ordinary Divorce
The ordinary divorce procedure must be used in all cases where there are children under 16 involved.
If financial matters have been agreed you can divorce on the grounds of:
One years separation with consent
Two years separation (consent not required)
Unreasonable behaviour
Adultery
01
What's Required
- You or your spouse to have lived in Scotland and resident at that address for 6 weeks.
- Financial matters finalised (don’t worry if not, we can prepare a legally binding separation agreement for a fixed fee).
- Agreement with your spouse regarding custody of your children.
- A witness that can verify your separation.
- Your marriage certificate and children’s birth certificates if applicable (we can help with our UK document service if not)

What to Expect
On receipt of your order we will email you a questionnaire that gives us the background information on your marriage and separation.
Once we have this we will send you the initial writ to be submitted to court.
The documents are sent to you one at a time with full instructions on how to submit them without the need to appear in court.
Documents can now be notarised remotely via FaceTime or Skype so the entire process can be completed from home or work.
Once everything has been submitted to the court the divorce should be confirmed in around 10 weeks.
