The basic fees are:
Court fees — £410 — when you start the divorce proceedings.
Court fee for issuing financial proceedings — £255 — if you cannot agree financial arrangements between yourselves.
You will also have to pay your solicitor’s fees. The fees vary depending on the complexity of the case but can be as low as £150—£200 if there are no disputes over money or children. For more information about what we can offer, and the costs involved, you should make a free initial enquiry.
Since April 2013, legal aid has been withdrawn for most divorce cases in England and Wales, although it is sometimes available to help with the costs of mediation.  You may qualify for legal aid if you have suffered from domestic violence or abuse. You may also be entitled to a reduction in court fees if you are on benefits or have a low income.
