How much does a divorce cost?

For an uncontested divorce, our legal fees will typically be at a fixed cost of £650 plus VAT and disbursements, such as the Court fee.

In a contested divorce, at each hearing the court may make an order regarding the costs of the applications that the court has just dealt with. Usually, the party who lost will be ordered to pay the winning party’s costs. The problem for the judge is often how to assess who ‘lost’ and who ‘won’, particularly at a final hearing.
