Law For Life

Wednesday, 7 October 2026 - 29 minutes

In this episode of Law for Life with Franklin Solicitors, we take an in-depth look at divorce and separation with Zoe from Franklin Solicitors.

From the first 30 days after separating to the final divorce order, Zoe explains what couples need to consider and how the legal process works.

We discuss no-fault divorce, what happens if one person doesn't want the divorce, how long the process takes, whether you can continue living together and what happens if you decide not to divorce at all.

We also explore some of the biggest questions around finances, including the family home, bank accounts, pensions, inheritance, hidden assets and debts. Zoe explains why a 50/50 split isn't necessarily the final answer and why having a legally binding financial consent order is so important.

We also look at dating during divorce, protecting assets with pre-nuptial agreements and the importance of getting the right legal advice for your individual circumstances.
