Even at the best of times, the divorce process is inherently uncertain, contentious and destabilising. But in the era of no-fault divorce, the process of ending a marriage has become much more straightforward. Simply.Law’s fixed fee divorce service helps you navigate this journey with certainty and control, providing clarity on costs and legal procedures.
With a fixed fee divorce, you know exactly what you’ll be paying right from the start for a specific list of work. This approach helps you stay in control of your finances and understand exactly what your solicitor will be doing for you.
The problem with traditional hourly billing is that legal fees can quickly escalate; a fixed fee arrangement guards against this, ensuring that all matters relating to court processes, forms, and co-applicants are handled at a clear, fixed cost. This leaves you free to focus on other important aspects of your life – such as your children, your health, and your broader financial concerns.
Simply.Law offers a fixed-price divorce service that assists couples in clearly dividing property, pensions, and other assets on divorce. If you and your spouse agree on all aspects of the split and trust each other’s full disclosure of assets, your divorce may be straightforward. However, for most people, engaging a divorce lawyer to protect your interests is essential. With a fixed fee divorce, you gain further confidence, clarity, and security.
Fees and charges
There are a number of fees divorcing couples may have to pay in England & Wales. These include:

Peace of mind at an uncertain time
Since the ending of legal aid for divorce, fixed fee divorce solicitor services provide the best opportunity for divorcing couples to receive legal advice at a clear, manageable and definable price.
For those who have only relatively minor dispute at the heart of their divorce and non-complex non-high value estates, fixed fee divorce could well be the answer as it can help you ensure that you are fully represented throughout the process and at no risk of incurring any unpleasant invoices for divorce legal work.
Not suitable for everyone
However, such services may not always be the best option for those who are involved in the most contentious separations. Quite simply, if you can’t agree on anything and struggle to keep things civil, it is unlikely that a fixed fee divorce solicitor will be right for you.
