How do I end my marriage?
If you know you’re ready to end your marriage permanently, you should get a divorce.
You can get a legal separation if you don’t want to get a divorce – for example, if you don’t agree with divorce for religious or cultural reasons
If your marriage isn’t legally valid, you can get it annulled – for example, if you were forced into it or one of you was under 16.
Before you end your marriage, you’ll also need to decide:
- how to divide any money
- what happens to the home
- where your children will live, if you have any
Advice on:
- If you’ve been married less than a year
- Getting a divorce
- Getting a legal separation
- Annulling your marriage
