Are Express Divorce a law firm?
We are not a law firm nor are we regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). The solicitors that we employ are not required to have professional indemnity insurance that meets the SRA's minimum terms and conditions. They are, however, authorised and regulated by the SRA in their personal capacity.What is your 7 day money back guarantee and how does it work?
Our number one priority at Express Divorce is ensuring you’re satisfied with the divorce service you’ve purchased from us. We understand that starting a divorce, clean break order or a consent order is a big step and, occasionally, our customers change their minds. Therefore, we introduced a 7 day money back guarantee on all of our managed services* meaning we’ll refund your money if you decide our service isn’t for you. Simply reach out to our friendly customer service team. * Guarantee expires 7 days after purchase or upon customer submitting their information using the data capture forms. This includes all managed divorce services as well as our clean break and consent order service.I have not received my welcome pack from Express Divorce. What do I do?
Please ensure you have checked your spam/junk mail to ensure it was not redirected from your inbox. If you have not received your confirmation email and welcome pack within 2 hours of payment, please contact our customer support team.I have been separated for years and don’t know where my spouse is. Can I still start a divorce?
The court will always expect you to make an effort to locate your spouse before starting divorce proceedings. Sometimes, this may involve some social media digging or contacting your spouse’s family or friends to obtain an address. We appreciate that this is not always possible so you may need to appoint a ‘no trace, no fee’ process server to locate your spouse. If you have exhausted every avenue trying to locate your spouse, we can apply to the court on your behalf and ask them to dispense with service. Please note that this is an additional application for which we charge £150.I have not fully agreed the finances with my spouse, can I still get divorced?
Yes, however, if you have chosen one of our managed divorces with a clean break or consent order, we cannot draft the order until both of you are in full agreement.I have young children. Do I need to agree who they are living with before I start my divorce?
Ideally, yes. It is possible to start divorce proceedings without an agreement on living arrangements for the children, however, this can lead to arguments as the divorce progresses.
Can I issue a divorce application if me and my spouse are still living together?
Yes, provided you have not resumed your relationship. Sometimes people live within the same house but have divided the property into 2 separate households and do not share washing, cooking, or other domestic chores. In this case, we often need additional details of how you are ‘living apart’ within the same house. We have known occasions where a judge has requested a simple sketched map of who lives where in the house and how it has been divided up!
