Divorce using the same lawyer – costing information

Explore how we can help you and your family with all your legal requirements.

Contact our team

Our single lawyer divorce and separation service follows an 8-step process.

Both individuals will follow the same eight-step process which costs a fixed-fee of £14,500 plus VAT per couple. This fixed-fee cost is spread across each stage of the process.

Payment is required in advance of each stage. At the first joint meeting we will discuss how the costs will be funded. Additional support and expert advice can be added on at additional cost, but we will discuss each potential add-on with you at the relevant time. Often, this extra support is not required and there is no obligation to use them.
