Should I wait for my spouse to file for a divorce?

Some of our clients tackle their problems head on. Others sit back and wait for their spouse to take the first step.

In our experience, waiting is almost always a mistake. The cost of delay can be substantial. Waiting may risk your spouse initiating proceedings in another jurisdiction, which can significantly impact the outcome of the case. Some countries are far less generous to the financially weaker party than the UK.

Even if jurisdiction isn’t an issue, your spouse might use the delay to complicate matters. They could hide assets to prevent you from getting your fair share, spend uncontrollably to increase their claim, or even try to restrict your access to your children.

Taking the initiative and issuing proceedings first often empowers clients, giving them a sense of control over their destiny. Divorce is challenging, but it’s also about building your own, independent future. Taking charge and making the first move is a crucial part of that process.
