How Our Family Solicitors Can Help
You should not have to face divorce, separation, or family disputes alone. Our solicitors are on your side, providing representation, negotiation, and guidance through every stage.
We regularly assist clients with:
Divorce
Including straightforward, uncontested divorces and contested proceedings.
Judicial Separation
For couples who wish to separate formally without divorce.
Annulment
Challenging the validity of a marriage.
Financial Settlements
Including property division, pensions, and maintenance.
Child Arrangements
Custody, contact, and parental responsibility agreements.
Domestic Matters
Injunctions and protective orders where required.
Fees & Costs
For family law matters, it is not always possible to provide fixed fees. Instead, we rely on the standard hourly rate guidelines published by HM Courts & Tribunals Service.
Typical estimates:
-
Initial consultation: 1 hour.
-
Uncontested divorce without children or financial arrangements: 3–5 hours.
Where cases go to court, we may also need to instruct a barrister. Their fees vary by experience but typically range between £1,500 and £3,000 per day. Court fees and appeal costs are additional.​
We will always provide a clear estimate before starting work, tailored to your circumstances.
