These Online Divorce Services provide everything you need for an uncontested divorce but allow you to save money, whilst still having the reassurance of support from a specialist divorce solicitor:-

These services apply if you are the one who starts the divorce proceedings if you want advice on divorce proceedings started by your spouse then please contact us for more information.
In our experience, the vast majority of divorces go through the Courts uncontested but you won't know this for sure until after your spouse has received the divorce petition and responded to it. In the unlikely event that your divorce does become contested:-
- You will need specialist legal advice from a divorce solicitor, which we offer at an hourly rate
- All of the fee you have paid for the online service will be credited against the cost of further legal advice
If you are having marriage problems, but are not yet sure that you want a Divorce:-
- For a fixed fee of £120 + VAT one of our experienced divorce lawyers will meet with you and give you a full assessment of your case. They will explain what your legal rights and options are, as well as what it may cost to take further legal advice
Do you have to sort everything out before you can get a divorce?
People often think either:-
- That they can't get divorced until they have sorted out their financial issues, or
- That getting divorced automatically concludes financial claims
These are both incorrect - you can deal with all outstanding financial, family and personal issues after your divorce is finalised. In most cases you will need legal advice to make sure your interests in these matters are protected - even if you have agreed with your spouse - so contact us for more information on how we can help you after your divorce.
