Supporting you through divorce proceedings.
Ending a marriage is never a straightforward decision. Divorce is the legal process by which a marriage is dissolved. In Jersey the law still requires certain pre-requisites to be met before a couple can divorce. Expert advice is needed, particularly where there are children involved or where there are substantial or complex assets.
At BCR, we know divorce proceedings can be emotionally and financially challenging, and we understand that in most cases both parties wish to resolve matters quickly. Our team are specialists at guiding our clients through the process as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Whether the parties want to formalise arrangements for the children of the marriage or wish to agree the division of assets and any ongoing financial support, we are here to support you very step of the way.
Our clients are provided with clear, objective, and straightforward, advice on the grounds for divorce, each step of the divorce procedure, all the options available to you, and the possible timescales.
