Divorce

Divorce - at our expense

A Challenging Time

As we come out of ‘the other side’ of the Covid pandemic, where many were made redundant, saw salary cuts or were furloughed, it is undisputed that financially the last few years have been challenging for most. With the subsequent cost of living crisis that we are now experiencing, there is no doubt that times are particularly hard.

DIY Divorce

As well as having a significant financial impact, the pandemic, for many reasons, tested marriages and relationships, to the extent that we have seen a rise in divorce levels, and in particular in individuals proceeding with the divorce process themselves, also known as ‘DIY divorces’. The introduction of ‘no fault divorce’ has also led to more people completing the divorce application themselves, without seeking legal advice, as they wrongly think the process will be easier. However, there are a number of issues which people do not think about when approaching a divorce, especially when dealing with finances and/or children matters.

A Stress Free Process

We know that the ending of a marriage can be an emotional roller-coaster and one which no one anticipates going though. We endeavour to make the process as easy and as stress free as possible. We are sympathetic and excellent listeners. We will take the time to get to know you and understand your individual situation. Receiving good legal advice from the outset allows for all possible issues to be thought about and dealt with in a timely manner, often saving time and money in the long run – and we believe such advice should be accessible to everyone.

Free of Charge Advice

We are pleased to be able to offer to support clients with their divorce at our own expense. This means that, should you instruct us to deal with your finances and children matters, or both, we will be able to deal with your divorce application free of charge*. This means that there are no legal fees to be paid for the divorce itself, other than the Court fee for making the application**.
