You agree it is time to divorce. Keep the process simple.
When you both agree, the divorce is a sequence of administrative steps over a minimum of 26 weeks. There is no blame to establish and nothing to fight about in the application itself.

See how it worksJoint or sole application when you agree
- Joint: both named as applicants, both complete each step, shows cooperation
- Sole: one applies, the other acknowledges, usually fewer delays
- Either route is no-fault and neither implies blame
- You can start a sole application and remain entirely amicable
The four steps
Apply and pay the court fee. Wait 20 weeks. Apply for the Conditional Order. Six weeks and a day later, apply for the Final Order. CalmSplit prompts you at each stage so nothing is missed.
Agree the money separately
The divorce does not divide assets. If you have agreed a split, a consent order makes it binding, and a clean break prevents future claims.
