The sole ground for divorce in the UK is the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, proven by one of five facts: adultery, unreasonable behavior, desertion, two years’ separation (with consent), or five years’ separation (without consent). We assist clients in understanding and proving these grounds.
To apply for legal aid, you must prove your case qualifies (e.g., family disputes, domestic abuse) and meet financial criteria. Applications can be made through a solicitor or directly with the Legal Aid Agency. We can help you assess eligibility and submit your application.
The base cost of filing for divorce in the UK is £593. Additional solicitor fees and court costs may apply, especially for contested divorces. The total cost depends on case complexity. We offer guidance on estimated costs for both uncontested and contested cases.
While a solicitor isn’t required, having one is beneficial for complex cases involving children or finances. Our experienced solicitors provide guidance, helping ensure the process is fair and aligns with legal standards, reducing potential conflicts.
The process usually takes between 6 months and a year, depending on whether the divorce is contested and if financial or child arrangements are involved
Solicitor fees for divorce vary. A straightforward, uncontested divorce may cost between £500 and £1,500, while complex or contested divorces can be significantly more expensive, depending on the solicitor's experience
Legal aid is government funding to help cover legal costs for people who cannot afford them. It is means-tested, so eligibility is based on your financial situation and the type of case involved
