What is Divorce?
A divorce is the formal legal process for ending a marriage. When most people talk about divorce, they are thinking about the emotional impact of the relationship breaking down, and the practical arrangements that need to be made for children, the family home, and finances.
The divorce itself is the paperwork that brings the marriage to a legal end. It does not automatically resolve financial arrangements or child arrangements. These need to be dealt with separately.
In April 2022, the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 came into force, allowing spouses to end a marriage without having to blame the other party. This is known as no-fault divorce.
‘Know where you stand’ Meeting
There is a great deal of information online about divorce, but every family and every situation is different. We offer a fixed-fee initial meeting with one of our specialist divorce lawyers to discuss your circumstances. We will listen and then explain where you stand, what your options are, and what the likely next steps look like, without jargon and without pressure. For more information on what to expect during that first meeting, visit our family law first meeting page.
To discuss your situation or to book a fixed-fee first meeting, please contact the Family Law department on 020 8865 1555 or complete our contact form.
Fixed-Fee Divorce
Our fixed-fee divorce service for uncontested divorce matters covers everything involved in preparing and filing the paperwork to end a marriage. This includes initial discussions with an experienced divorce specialist, liaising with the respondent, and issuing both the Conditional Order and the Final Order.
We offer a transparent fixed fee of £675 plus VAT if you are the Applicant (plus the court fee of £628), or £400 plus VAT if you are the Respondent. Most divorces will be eligible, and we will tell you from the outset if this does not apply to your situation, for example, in international divorces.
Contested Divorce
Where there are significant disagreements about finances, children, or the divorce itself where it relates to jurisdiction, the process can become more complex. As experienced divorce solicitors, we can help you navigate those disputes through negotiation, mediation, round table meetings, non-court dispute resolution or court proceedings where necessary. We will always advise you on the approach most likely to achieve the best outcome for your circumstances.

International Divorce
If you or your spouse live abroad, or if your marriage has connections to another country, there are additional legal considerations to address. Jurisdiction, meaning which country’s courts handle your divorce, can have a significant impact on the outcome, particularly when it comes to financial settlements. Acting quickly to establish jurisdiction in the right country can be crucial. Our London-based solicitors are experienced in advising on international divorce and can help you understand your options from the outset.
