A posting order does not wait for a divorce to finish. Service families at Waddington, Coningsby and Cranwell separate like any others, but the serving spouse may be sent to Cyprus or the Falklands mid-case, the family loses its service accommodation once the marriage ends, with a fixed notice period to leave, and the Armed Forces Pension Scheme, often the couple's largest asset by a distance, has rules of its own for pension sharing. Divorce solicitors in Lincoln handle forces divorces every week and know the housing timetable and the pension scheme's forms by heart.
The process is the same for everyone. Since April 2022 divorce has been no-fault: an online application by one spouse or both, twenty weeks to the conditional order, six more to the final order, no need to blame anyone. The work is the money. Lincolnshire adds farms, where the land is inherited, the business is a partnership with parents and the house sits in the middle of both; holiday lets and caravan-park businesses on the coast; and couples who retired to Mablethorpe or Woodhall Spa on pensions that must now stretch to two households. Agreed terms go into a consent order approved by the family court in Lincoln without a hearing; disagreements go to a mediation information and assessment meeting first and then, if they must, to court.
Children's arrangements run in parallel, and for forces families they must survive a posting; a Lincoln solicitor will build that into the order rather than wait for the move.
Fees are fixed for the application and hourly for the financial side, a first meeting is often free, and legal aid is limited to cases with evidence of domestic abuse.
