If you’re starting divorce proceedings against your spouse, this means you’re the applicant. This means you’re responsible for completing and submitting the divorce application, which we will do on your behalf as part of our fixed fee service. For applicants, our fixed fee divorce service costs from £600, providing both people agree to the divorce. In addition to our fee, you’ll also need to pay a court fee of £612.

The court fee is payable upfront, along with our full fee. If you are on a low income, you may be eligible for help with court fees. For more information, visit GOV.UK.

These are the costs to legally end your marriage. There may be additional costs to resolve any matters to do with finances, assets or children. This can vary depending on the case, and we can discuss your options with you once you start divorce proceedings with us.

If your spouse has issued divorce proceedings against you, this means you’re the respondent. This means you’ll receive the completed divorce application once this has been issued by the court.

For respondents, our fixed fee divorce service costs from £400. This fee is payable upfront. There is no court fee to pay if you are the respondent.
