Fixed-Fee Divorce Solicitors at Your Service

Fixed-Fee Divorce Solicitors at HM & Co. Solicitors

If you’re considering a fixed-fee divorce, our team at HM & Co. Solicitors can provide the support and clarity you need. By knowing your costs in advance, you can remove much of the financial uncertainty often associated with divorce. A fixed-fee arrangement functions like any other divorce process, but you’ll know your exact fee before proceedings begin, ensuring complete transparency.

For couples ending their marriage or civil partnership without financial disputes, property issues, or child arrangement concerns, a fixed-fee option may be an ideal fit.

How much does a fixed-fee divorce cost?

We offer a competitively priced fixed-fee package for uncontested divorces, with costs varying depending on whether you are the applicant (the one initiating the divorce) or the respondent (your spouse initiates the divorce):

  • Applicant: £650 + VAT plus a £593 court fee
  • Respondent: £500 + VAT

Not all divorces are suitable for a fixed-fee approach. If this option doesn’t fit your situation, our divorce solicitors can provide an hourly rate arrangement tailored to your unique circumstances. Please feel free to contact us for more information or if you have any questions.

When might a fixed-fee divorce not be the best choice?

Our fixed-fee divorce service doesn’t cover financial settlements, property disputes, or child arrangements. If any of these matters arise or the situation becomes more complicated, a fixed-fee arrangement may no longer be suitable. In that case, we’ll discuss moving to a more bespoke pricing model that reflects your needs.

At HM & Co. Solicitors, we take the time to understand your situation from the outset. This ensures transparent costs, and we’ll let you know promptly if we need to consider a more tailored approach.

How can a fixed-fee divorce solicitor help?

A specialist fixed-fee divorce solicitor offers guidance tailored to your specific circumstances. They’ll clearly explain the cost of our service and what the fixed-fee package includes. Your solicitor will also be available to answer any questions and clarify the steps involved, so you’re always informed and prepared throughout the process.

FAQs

Civil Partnership Dissolution

How much does it cost to dissolve a civil partnership?

The current court fee to start the dissolution process for a civil partnership is £593. You and your partner will need to decide who will cover this cost.
If you choose to work with a specialist civil partnership solicitor for legal assistance, there will be additional fees. The total cost depends on the complexity of your case and the amount of work involved. We will provide a clear estimate of all expected costs throughout the process.

What happens to my will after a civil partnership dissolution?

Ending your civil partnership does not invalidate your will. However, your former partner is treated as if they had died on the date of your dissolution, meaning they cannot act as an executor or inherit from your estate.
After your civil partnership ends, it’s wise to update your will as soon as possible, especially if your former partner was your sole executor or beneficiary. This ensures your estate will be managed according to your current wishes.

How quickly can a civil partnership be dissolved?

The timeframe varies, depending on how smoothly the process goes. If both parties agree on the terms and complete all documentation promptly, it may take around 4 to 6 months. Delays can occur if you and your partner cannot reach an agreement, particularly over financial arrangements. In such cases, you may need a financial settlement order to safeguard your assets. If one partner contests the dissolution, multiple court hearings may be required, further extending the timeline.

Is dissolution the same as divorce?

Dissolution is the equivalent legal process for ending a civil partnership, while divorce applies to marriages. Both require the relationship to have existed for at least one year before applying, and the current court fee is £593.
If you choose to seek legal representation, additional costs will apply for both divorce and dissolution. Once the process is complete, a final order will officially end your relationship in the eyes of the law.
