How much does a Divorce cost?

If you are thinking about a divorce, you are entitled to a 20-minute consultation with a member of our Family Law team for free.

In this free consultation, you can find out if you have the grounds to claim divorce. We will also explain the divorce process and stages to you. Finally, we will answer any other questions you may have.

After this initial consultation, you can opt to have a longer session with our Family Law team at a time that suits you. This first session is charged at a fixed fee of £150.

Here, we will be happy to go further into your case. We could offer you different approaches and strategies you can take.

After this first session, if you wish to instruct us to represent you, you will be charged at an hourly rate. We will discuss and agree on this rate with you before commencing any work.

Can you get Legal Aid for Divorce?

Legal aid for divorce is only available under very specific circumstances. These are in cases of:

• Domestic Abuse
• Violence
• Child Abduction

However, means-tested legal aid is available to pay for mediation as an alternative to court proceedings for divorce.

If you are unsure whether your case could be covered by legal aid, our Family Law team and Divorce Solicitors will be able to help.
