Frequently asked questions

You don’t need to arrange child residence through the court. It is simpler (and cheaper) if you decide this amicably between yourselves. If you are unable to agree, you may need to use a family mediator to help you reach a decision. If discussion totally breaks down, a divorce solicitor can negotiate on your behalf.

No! You do not need to prove that your marriage has broken down using grounds for divorce. All you need is solo or joint statement that your marriage has broken down irretrievably.

Uncontested, divorce will take several months, how many will depend on how busy the courts are at the time. Your divorce solicitor will be able to give you a clear idea based on when you start the process and how complex it is.

The cost of a divorce depends on a number of factors, like whether it’s contested by you or your spouse, and divorce solicitors fees. The initial application for divorce costs £593 (not including solicitor fees). Other fees, such as family mediation and court fees will be added.

When you divorce, you will have agree on how to split your assets, including financial assets such as savings, property, investments, pensions and debts, as well as any business assets you own. A divorce lawyer can help you assess these and come to a compromise with your ex-partner.
