Divorce & Separation
Divorce and separation can be overwhelming, but our experienced team at Hassans is here to provide clear, sensitive, and strategic guidance to help you move forward with confidence.
No-Fault Divorce in Gibraltar
Recent reforms have introduced a no-fault divorce process in Gibraltar, making it easier to end a marriage without proving fault (e.g., adultery or unreasonable behaviour). To qualify:
- You must have been married for at least one year.
- Either you or your spouse must be domiciled in Gibraltar or have lived here habitually for at least one year.
Our Approach
We aim to minimise stress and conflict, helping you reach agreements on finances, children, and other key issues through negotiation or mediation. If court proceedings are necessary, our team has extensive experience representing clients robustly under Gibraltar’s Matrimonial Causes Act.
