Divorce after 30 years of marriage
After 30 years, almost everything you own is likely to be treated as built together. Retirement income and the family home usually matter more than anything else, and there is often less time to rebuild.
CalmSplit prepares the divorce application for a one-off £159. For the financial side we can prepare a consent order, and refer you to an independent solicitor if you want advice.
- Pensions are frequently the largest asset after 30 years
- Housing both of you is often the central problem to solve
- The divorce itself remains a paper process
One-off CalmSplit fee. HMCTS court fees are paid separately to the court.

See how it worksWhat tends to matter most
- Cash equivalent values for every pension, including any in payment
- Whether the home can be kept, sold or bought out
- Income needs in retirement rather than during working life
- State pension entitlement and any survivor benefits
Options for the home
Sell and split, one of you buys the other out, or a deferred sale on agreed terms. Mortgage affordability later in life is the usual constraint, so check borrowing capacity before agreeing.
Then the reassuring part
Once you have decided to end the marriage, the divorce application itself is straightforward and can be prepared online in under an hour of your time.
