Going through a divorce can feel overwhelming, emotional and uncertain.
For most people, it is one of the most difficult periods of their life and often involves complex decisions about finances, property and children at a time when emotions are already high.
At Manak Solicitors, we approach every divorce with empathy, discretion and care. Our role is to guide you through the legal process, helping you understand your options and make informed decisions at every stage. Whether your separation is amicable or more complex, we are here to support you.
The Divorce Process
Stage 1: Starting the divorce
This involves formally applying for divorce and beginning the legal process. We can guide you through the application, paperwork and timelines, ensuring everything is handled correctly from start to finish.
Stage 2: Arrangements and agreements
This stage focuses on the practical matters that need to be resolved, including finances, property and arrangements for children. We help you understand your rights and work towards fair agreements.
Stage 3: Finalising the divorce
Once everything has been agreed, the divorce can be legally finalised. We ensure all documentation is completed correctly and that any financial agreements are properly formalised in order to protect you in the future.
Minimising conflict in divorce
Whilst it’s normal for emotions to run high during the divorce process, it doesn’t have to become confrontational. In many cases, a calm and structured approach leads to better outcomes for everyone involved, particularly in situations with children.
We support clients by resolving matters through:
- Constructive negotiation
- Mediation
- Collaborative law approaches
- Clear communication and realistic advice
Where agreement is possible, we prioritise solutions that reduce stress, cost and disruption, and if disputes arise, we provide steady and robust legal support.
Family law is never just about the law. It’s about people, relationships, and futures. We understand the emotions involved and bring both expertise and empathy to every case. Our solicitors are recognised specialists, trusted across Kent and London for clear advice, cost-effective solutions, and unwavering support. Clients come to us for guidance in some of the most important decisions of their lives, and our reputation- reflected in hundreds of five-star reviews- speaks for itself.
Our Approach
We deal with every aspect of family law: from guiding couples through divorce and separation, to resolving complex financial settlements and securing fair arrangements for children. We help protect assets through pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, support partners in cohabitation disputes, and act swiftly in cases of domestic abuse where protection is urgent. Whatever your circumstances, we combine technical skill with a human touch, working to secure the best outcome for you and your family.
High Net Worth Divorce
Divorces involving significant assets require specialist legal and financial expertise. High net worth cases often include property portfolios, business interests, investments, pensions, and international assets that must be carefully valued and divided.
Our experienced high-net worth divorce solicitors regularly advise clients in complex financial cases, working alongside accountants, financial advisers, and valuation experts where necessary. We focus on protecting your financial interests while ensuring a fair and practical settlement.
Whether your case involves business ownership, multiple properties, overseas assets, or high-value pensions, our team provides clear strategic advice and discreet support throughout the process.

With offices in Sevenoaks, Orpington, Gravesend, London, and Biggin Hill, we are never far away. For those who prefer speed and convenience, our secure online systems- including our trademarked Instant Instruct tool- allow you to begin your case entirely online, without ever compromising on personal service.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a divorce take in the UK?
The exact time it takes to get a divorce in the UK varies depending on individual circumstances and the complexities for the case, however most simple divorces take between 6 and 8 months from application to final order.
How are arrangements for children decided?
Many families reach agreements through discussion or mediation, however when this doesn’t seem plausible the court may become involved to help determine suitable arrangements. Whichever route you go down, the focus is always on making a decision that is in the best interest of the children.
Can I start divorce proceedings without my partner's permission?
Yes, under the current divorce process one person can apply for divorce without needing to prove fault. However for a no-fault divorce to be valid, you must be able to prove that the marriage has irretrievably broken down.
What should I do before speaking with a Divorce Solicitor
It can be helpful to gather key information such as financial documents, mortgage details, pension information and any existing agreements. However, we can help you work out exactly what you’ll need in our initial consultation call.
