It is becoming increasingly popular for divorcing couples to use just one legal expert, according to new findings by HCR Law.
Divorce solicitors in North Wales have often been employed to navigate couples through this often-complex legal process. While many couples choose separate lawyers for their legal battle, lone advisors are also able oversee the whole divorce proceedings.
It has been recently estimated that there has been an almost 90% increase in divorcing couples who use just one solicitor. One of the reasons for this latest development is the introduction of no-fault divorces, which were made lawful in 2022. It has become an increasingly popular way to divorce since, as it intended, the new rules mean that the divorce can be less stressful and adversarial.
It is anticipated that the use of a single solicitor specialising in family law in North Wales to facilitate a divorce will steadily increase as the other benefits become clear. These include the ability for one legal advisor to manage negotiations and discussions around subjects such as finances and contact with the children.
The traditional method of divorcing is being challenged, and couples are now more likely to want an amicable outcome and are more willing to work together to achieve this. Generally, most people want a quick divorce too and, following this train of thought, the overall costs will be reduced.
