The end of a marriage or civil partnership is a major life transition that requires unwinding a legally binding contract. Legally, a divorce formally dissolves your union, but it also necessitates untangling shared finances, dividing property, and making crucial, long-term decisions about your children’s future. Getting these legalities right from the outset is essential so that you are financially protected and can step into your future with certainty.
At Davis Blank Furniss, we understand that this is often an incredibly sensitive and emotionally overwhelming time. Our compassionate divorce solicitors, led by Kirsty Morbey, an experienced family lawyer, are here to provide the steady, expert guidance you need.
We focus on offering clear, practical advice and a supportive environment, taking the legal burden off your shoulders so you can focus on rebuilding your life and supporting your family.

Family divorce solicitors handle the entire legal unwinding of your marriage. At Davis Blank Furniss, our divorce solicitors manage the court applications, negotiate complex financial settlements, and formalise child arrangements, so that your rights are legally protected at every single stage.
There is no single formula for entitlements, as the court prioritises fairness and the specific needs of any children involved. Entitlement is based on various factors, including the length of the marriage, your respective ages, and the financial contributions of both parties. Our family law solicitors will assess your unique situation to provide a realistic and honest outlook.
A conditional order is a formal document from the court confirming that they see no legal reason why you cannot divorce. It is the crucial middle stage of the process, allowing you to move forward with submitting legally binding financial agreements to the court before the final order is granted.
A financial order is a court-approved, legally binding document that details exactly how your wealth, property, and pensions will be divided. Without a financial order, your financial claims against one another remain open, even after the divorce is finalised.
A clean break divorce is a specific type of financial order that severs all future financial ties between you and your former spouse. Once granted by the court, it ensures that neither of you can make a financial claim against the other in the future, providing total financial independence.

DBF are a class act. We used them for the sale of a house. Professional, clear and responsive. Craig and Belinda who handled our case were great. Nothing was too much trouble, responsive and easy to get hold of.
“Very approachable, practical solutions to problems, but most of all very responsive which I personally think is very important because if you need help, you need it quickly, or at least to know someone is looking at it for you”.
“Always able to contact, very approachable, friendly and professional”
“I believe I have been able to establish a professional working relationship with everyone I have come into contact. Importantly, I sense the relationships which have been established give me the confidence that I can make contact with Davis Blank Furniss at any time and on any matter. I would also like to express my thanks to the very impressive “gatekeepers” who work in reception, not only for making me very welcome, but also for their professionalism”
“Thank you for your efficient and friendly help throughout this process. We have had it easy but your approach has been part of that”.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you personally for the ongoing support and assistance the firm has offered to our parents over the years. I hope also that we may be able to call on you if necessary in the future.”
“Jo always provides great service, understands our needs and delivers on her promises. Our needs are relatively simple but the complexity arises out of the volume of work and short time frames, Jo always delivers.”
“A big thank you to all who dealt with my wife’s claim… We would not hesitate to recommend Davis Blank Furniss to anyone that may be in a situation like we have been…”
“Before putting my case in Kirsty (Morbey)’s capable hands I’ve met a couple of other solicitors. None of them listen to me as intently as Kirsty and showed me as much empathy and understanding as she did. Simultaneously she was able to look at my case from legal perspective, explain all the options and follow each of our meetings with written summary of the discussed matters (in timely manner). Her advice was invaluable and led me to successfully ending the case matter (hopeful for good). I’m forever grateful for he work and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable and committed solicitor”.
