The fear of unpredictable legal bills can be one of the biggest sources of stress when facing a family law issue. Our expert family solicitors believe in transparent pricing, offering fixed-fee services and clear cost estimates to give you complete peace of mind.
The total cost of a family law case is typically made up of two distinct parts: your solicitor's fees for their time and expertise, and third-party costs known as disbursements. We are always clear about both.
This is the cost for our expert legal advice and time. We offer fixed-fees for defined tasks like a divorce application, and clear hourly rates for more complex negotiations, with regular cost updates so you always stay in control.
Get a Fixed-Fee QuoteThese are mandatory fees charged by HM Courts & Tribunals Service to issue an application. For example, there is a set fee for a divorce application and another for a Financial Consent Order. These fees are separate from ours.
Ask About Court FeesThese are costs paid to third parties as part of your case, such as fees for a barrister's representation at a final hearing, a property valuation report, or fees for obtaining your marriage certificate from the registry office.
Understand All Costs
Our commitment is to resolve your case as efficiently as possible to keep your costs manageable. We focus on constructive negotiation and mediation to avoid expensive court battles wherever we can, without ever compromising on the quality of our expert legal advice.
The total cost depends on the complexity of your case, particularly the finances. The court charges a fixed fee of £593 to issue the divorce application. Our legal fees for advice and drafting a financial order are separate. We can provide a clear estimate in a fixed-fee consultation.
In family law, it is very rare for one party to be ordered to pay the other party's legal fees. The general rule is that each person pays for their own solicitor. In some exceptional cases of poor conduct, a 'costs order' can be made, but this is not common.
You can help by being organised. Prepare a summary of your situation before meetings, gather all relevant financial documents early, and try to be constructive in negotiations with your ex-partner to narrow the issues that require our direct intervention.
Don't let the fear of unknown costs prevent you from securing a fair outcome. Contact us to book a clear, fixed-fee consultation and take control of your future.
