How much will a divorce cost?

We understand that divorce and separation can be distressing so we try to ensure we are transparent in our fees. We offer some fixed fee packages however the amount and type of work you may require will depend on individual circumstances. Please contact our team to discuss your individual needs.

How long will a divorce take?

Typically, the procedure for dissolving a marriage can take in the region of 4 to 6 months, however, this timescale will depend on whether all the parties co-operate and whether financial matters are resolved quickly.

What does shared care of children mean?

Contrary to general belief shared care does not automatically mean a child's time will be divided 50/50 between the parents. Shared care can be a number of different combinations and the outcome will depend on individual circumstances and what is in the child's best interests.

What is parental responsibility?

Parental responsibility is the rights and powers that parents hold in relation to children. A biological mother will automatically gain parental responsibility. A biological father can obtain parental responsibility by being married to the mother at birth, by being named on the birth certificate after 1st December 2003, by completing a parental responsibility agreement, or by court order.

I am a grandparent and I am no longer seeing my grandchildren. What rights do I have?

If you have an established relationship with your grandchildren and there are no welfare concerns about you seeing them, we can assist you in re-establishing spending time with the children.

Can I pay monthly or pay at the end?

We understand the financial pressure of separation. We are able to offer our clients bespoke payment arrangements if required. Please contact us today to discuss the options available.

Mediation is a process designed to resolve disputes. Family mediation involves two people meeting with a mediator to assess whether the dispute is suitable for mediation, then a meeting with both parties and the independent mediator to assist in reaching an agreed outcome.
