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 £612.00. 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. In addition to the court fee as mentioned above, the fixed fee for Henry Hyams to carry out the work on a straightforward uncontested divorce is as follows:
| Fixed Fee | VAT | VAT Amount | Total | |
| If you are the Applicant: | £600.00 | 20% | £120.00 | £720.00 |
| If you are the Respondent: | £300.00 | 20% | £60.00 | £360.00 |
The fixed fee does not include dealing with Finances or issues concerning Children.
There are certain circumstances where the fixed fee for divorce will not be applicable. This figure can vary in the event of any additional complexities, for example, translation of documents or the need to arrange personal service.
