Is it best to use a solicitor for divorce?
While it is possible to do a ‘DIY’ divorce, it is best to get legal advice on your divorce or dissolution before you start, as the very least. A professional divorce solicitor will advise on whether a DIY divorce may be suitable in your case and whether any amicably agreed settlement is legally secure.
Without an experienced divorce lawyer explaining your rights and defending your best interests, you may find you sign away your rights and later feel shortchanged, with no recourse against your ex-spouse.
If your divorce or dissolution must go to court to reach a settlement, DIY applicants are often left waiting on hold for hours when contacting the courts directly. Applications are more likely to be rejected due to errors or delayed due to inefficient submissions.
What kind of solicitor do I need for divorce?
You’ll want to instruct an experienced family law solicitor for divorce or dissolution. Our family law solicitors will listen to you and discuss your options; help you understand your rights and legal position, as well as the rights of your ex-partner; and provide trusted advice regarding your home, your family’s future, and your financial security.
How much does a divorce cost through a UK solicitor?
