How much is a divorce?

The divorce process is the procedure couples have to go through in order to bring their marriage to an end in the eyes of the law.

Divorce solicitors costs

Divorce costs are often based on the individual case and usually differ from solicitor to solicitor. Our family law solicitors in Leeds will talk with you about your situation, the divorce, and the potential financial situations that might occur as a result of your divorce.

Usually, the difficulty of the divorce case determines the divorce solicitors’ costs charged, but we will confirm this with you before commencement.

Divorce fees

To issue an application for divorce there is a court fee of £593.00. If you are on a low income, have limited savings or are in receipt of certain benefits an application can be made for Help with Fees. It is then at the discretion of the Court as to whether you pay the court fee or whether the fee can be reduced. 

If a Joint Application is being made Help with Fees is only available where both parties have limited savings, get certain benefits or are on a low income. If this only applies to one party then Help with Fees will not be available unless a Sole Application is made. 

At Henry Hyams, we offer a fixed fee to deal with the divorce. The fixed fee is for a straightforward uncontested divorce. If you are the Applicant in divorce the fixed fee is £600 plus VAT and if you are the Respondent the fixed fee is £300 plus VAT. 

There are certain circumstances where the fixed fee for divorce will not be applicable. Please call us and we can discuss this with you
