Our services
Judicial separation is an alternative to divorce that particularly resonates with individuals whose religious or cultural beliefs do not align with the concept of divorce. While similar to divorce in many legal aspects, judicial separation crucially leaves the marriage legally intact.
Our team at Slater Heelis is adept at navigating the nuances of judicial separation. This process allows couples to live separately and access financial orders in the Family Court without officially ending the marriage. It’s an important option for those who wish to respect their religious or cultural beliefs while seeking legal recognition of their separation.
Key differences between judicial separation and divorce include the ability to apply for pension sharing orders only in subsequent divorce proceedings, no requirement for a one-year marriage prior to proceedings, and the issuance of a single decree of judicial separation. Unlike divorce, there is no obligation to prove the marriage has ‘irretrievably broken down’.
Should your circumstances change, transitioning from a judicial separation to a divorce is possible. Our team provides compassionate and tailored advice, ensuring your legal and personal needs are met with the utmost respect and professionalism.
