About us

Who we are

Divorce is an independent information service providing free guidance on divorce and separation in England and Wales. We’re not a law firm and we don’t provide legal advice — instead, we help you understand the process, your options, and where to find professional support when you need it.

Our content is written by experts in family law, reviewed regularly for accuracy, and designed to be clear and accessible to everyone, regardless of their circumstances.

What we do

Going through a divorce can be overwhelming. There’s a lot to understand — legal processes, financial decisions, arrangements for children — and it’s often hard to know where to start or who to trust.

We provide:

• Clear, jargon-free explanations of divorce law and procedure
• Practical guidance on finances, property, and child arrangements
• Tools and calculators to help you plan
• Directories to find mediators, solicitors, and support services
• Emotional support resources and helpline information

Our principles

Everything we publish follows these principles:

• Impartial — We don’t take sides. Our guidance helps both parties understand their rights and responsibilities.
• Accessible — We write in plain English and design for all users, including those with disabilities.
• Accurate — Our content is researched thoroughly and reviewed by legal professionals.
• Up to date — We monitor changes to family law and update our guidance promptly.
• Compassionate — We understand divorce is difficult. Our tone is supportive, never judgmental.

How we’re funded

Divorce is funded through carefully selected partnerships with legal services. We never accept payment to recommend specific solicitors or services, and our guidance is always editorially independent.

Feedback and corrections

We want our guidance to be as helpful and accurate as possible. If you spot an error, have a suggestion, or want to share your experience, please get in touch. We read every message.
