Using the information you provide, we will then prepare the necessary court documents and process the divorce for you from start to finish, and we’ll keep you fully updated every step of the way.
Are you starting divorce proceedings?
If you are starting divorce proceedings, known as “the applicant” you’re responsible for completing and submitting the divorce application, which we will do on your behalf as part of our fixed fee service.
For applicants our fixed fee service is £399 + VAT (£79.80) + Court fees (£593) and any other disbursements such as if there is need for a translation of your marriage certificate = Total £1,071.80 + disbursements.
These are the costs to legally end your marriage. There may be additional costs to resolve any matters to do with finances, or children. This can vary depending on the case, and we can discuss your options with you once you start divorce proceedings with us.

Are you responding to divorce proceedings?
If your spouse has issued divorce proceedings against you, this means you’re the respondent. This means you’ll receive the completed divorce application once this has been issued by the court. We can then assist in preparing and lodging the necessary paperwork with court and oversee the process of finalising the divorce.
For respondents, our fixed fee divorce service costs £275 + VAT (£55) and any other disbursements = Total £330 + disbursements.
This fee is payable upfront. There is no court fee to pay if you are the respondent.

How long does it take to get a divorce?
If there are no complications the divorce process generally takes 8-10 months to complete depending on how busy the courts are.
Can a divorce be contested?
Under new divorce laws that came into force on 6 April 2022, it’s generally no longer possible to contest a divorce unless this is on the basis of jurisdiction. If you are applying for a divorce against the wishes of your spouse, or responding to a divorce that you don’t agree to, discuss your options with our divorce solicitors.
Divorce financial settlements
Divorce brings marriage to a legal end in England & Wales but it does not end the financial commitments between the couple. In order to end matrimonial financial commitments and to protect your finances upon divorce a financial consent order or a clean break order, is required from the court, meaning each person’s financial affairs are completely separated from each other free from claim in future.
Formally resolving financial issues is vital for your future and the future of your children. Our specialist team of divorce solicitors are experts in achieving fair financial settlements and dealing with uncooperative spouses.
