"Decisions taken at the time of divorce can impact on many aspects of your life for years to come. Couple this with the emotional impact that divorce inevitably entails and it is easy to see that good advice from an experienced solicitor is essential" - Lindsay Emmett, Partner.
When a marriage has irretrievably broken down, the process of obtaining a divorce decree is straight forward, based on one of the grounds of adultery, unreasonable behaviour, separation for two years with the consent of both parties, or separation for five years.
Complications arise when one or both parties have substantial income or assets, run their own businesses or where children are involved. We specialise in dealing with divorces where the combined income of the parties prior to the breakdown of the marriage exceeds £50,000, or one or both parties run their own business, or where combined assets exceed £500,000.
Good advice can make a substantial difference to the financial settlement, and this is where we are able to provide significant value.
We also provide full advice relating to issues concerning children of the family including residence and contact.
Fees
To obtain a divorce decree, we currently charge a standard fixed fee of £750 + VAT + disbursements.
The disbursements to obtain a decree may vary but in a straight forward divorce, they are typically £300.00 for the issue of the petition and £40.00 for the application to make the decree absolute.
At the current time therefore, the fee for obtaining a divorce decree inclusive of VAT and disbursements is typically:
Our fees: £750.00VAT: £112.50Issue fee: £300.00Application fee: £40.00
Total: £1202.50
Our fees for advising and assisting in relation to financial issues and children related issues are charged on a time recorded basis. The hourly fees vary depending on the level of fee earner dealing with aspects of the case. Upon instruction by you, and following a consultation with you and review of any documents, we will where possible provide an estimate of the length of time and fees required to complete the matter.
We will also deliver regular details to you of the time spent and costs incurred so that you are informed of and in control of costs information throughout your case.
