Holly SkeltonIsn’t divorce work boring?
Holly Skelton: The process is fairly standard, with some variations for different situations, but the people I deal with certainly aren’t boring. Divorce is quite emotive, or at least it can be, and part of my job is to provide support and steer my clients through the process. Sometimes, clients will say they’ve been separated for ages, are getting along fine and just need to sort the paperwork. Other clients will still be feeling angry and upset, and it’s a matter of tailoring my approach to suit whatever stage they are at and their own personal feelings.
But there has to be ‘fault’ doesn’t there? You can’t actually have a faultless divorce?
HS: In the past, that was often the case. However, the law has now changed. Check out the new procedure on our main Divorce page.
What happens in cases where one partner doesn’t want to get divorced?
HS: Since the law changed, that’s not really an option for them.
