Frequently Asked Questions

The cost depends on how complex the finances are and whether matters are agreed or go to court.  A straightforward divorce where the parties are in agreement on everything can cost under £1000, whereas acrimonious cases can cost over £10,000 – its one of the reasons why we encourage separating couples to work things out amicably, including with the help of a family mediation solicitor.
