In the UK, divorcing couples can decide between a no-fault divorce and an at-fault divorce. The process of the no-fault divorce is simpler and quicker than the at-fault divorce.

A number of things that must be considered when deciding on a no-fault or at- fault divorce are as follows:

No Fault Divorce:

1. Our marriage has broken down irretrievably (this includes unreasonable behaviour, adultery and desertion)

2. We have lived apart for more than two years with both parties consenting to this separation

3. We have lived apart for more than five years with both parties consenting to this separation

4. One party is unable to work due to mental incapacity or illness and cannot reasonably be expected to cope with a marital life without medical assistance

At Fault Divorce:

1. One party has committed adultery or unreasonable behaviour which has caused the breakdown of the Marriage

Divorce, in fact, is a very painful process that has no easy solutions.

Divorce rates in the United Kingdom have risen by 50% since 1973, and the number of divorces has nearly doubled since 2000. More than 1 in 4 adults are choosing to end their marriage. The divorce rate is now at its highest since records began, with marriages ending in 2016 at around 200,000 each year. This can be attributed to a variety of reasons such as a change in social attitudes towards marriage and relationships, as well as financial and emotional pressures put on couples who are trying to make it work but just can't seem to get there. However difficult it may seem, there will always be ways out of this emotional turmoil.

There are over 200,000 divorces in the UK each year and many more than that who never married but are separating from their partner. Divorce is a daunting process to walk alone.
