Despite popular belief, most divorces are dealt with by the courts on a ‘stand alone’ basis.

All matters relating to children, finances and property are handled separately and are not part of the qualifying criteria for the granting of a divorce. Courts can only ratify any financial agreement reached by the parties once Decree Nisi has been pronounced.

In the vast majority of cases, divorces proceed on an uncontested basis with petitioner and respondent agreeing to divorce. This means that most people can take advantage of our guaranteed fixed cost service which offers a divorce for £160 including VAT plus Court fees. There are no hidden ‘extras’.

Please remember that wherever possible, by far the best way to deal with matrimonial finances, property and children is to come to an amicable agreement with your spouse. This will save you time and money.
