Divorce can be started in England if both parties are residents, or if the respondent is living in England for at least one year before the date of the petition, or the petitioner and the respondent are domiciled in England. It may be the case that one party wishes to start divorce as soon as possible to ensure that England is the country that will deal with any ancillary financial issues.
