Divorce and Fixed Fees

Divorce is never a decision that is taken lightly. However, if you have arrived at that decision, you must take expert, professional and legally qualified advice to fully understand your rights. We are fixed fee divorce solicitors that are here to help you, and to make you aware of the choices that are available to you.

What are the divorce fees?

Knowing the cost of the legal process upfront can help alleviate stress by helping you manage your finances and make informed decisions. Higgins Miller offers a fixed-fee divorce package for agreed, undefended divorces;

  • If you are the applicant: £595 + VAT
  • If you are the respondent: £395 + VAT

For all other divorces, an hourly rate is applied. We have a range of family solicitors who provide their expertise at variable rates depending on experience.

Just to outline the legal process of a divorce; If you are the person who starts the divorce process, you are referred to as The Applicant. Your spouse will be The Respondent. You can initiate a joint divorce. To obtain a divorce you must have been married for at least one year. Divorce is now focused on no fault or blame.

How we can help

We complete and submit all the legal papers to the Court. We will undertake these proceedings on your behalf. Once the divorce is initiated there is a 20-week cooling off period. Only after that time can the divorce be progressed by applying for the conditional order. Once the conditional order has been pronounced, you then need to wait at least 43 days (6 weeks and 1 day) before we can apply to finalise the divorce and end the marriage.

We recognise that divorce is a very stressful event and the legal process can be overwhelming. Our specialist divorce solicitors are friendly and approachable, and they work hard to provide legal support when you need it most. As one of the North West’s leading divorce law firms, you can be confident that we will always be there to guide you and to help you make the right decisions in order to achieve the best results possible.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US

I have had the pleasure of having a few dealings with Mark Higgins and him taking care of us. I can’t speak highly enough of Mark. His knowledge and attention to detail is first class.

Mr M.

Fantastic, compassionate, easy to work with and Fantastic standard of legal advice! Straight talk, delivered with care and understanding! Highly Recommend

Mrs B.

From start to finish, Mark has gone above and beyond in my case. Always made time for me to discuss any issues, big or small and was excellent in his advice and expertise. This has been an incredibly difficult time for me, and the endless support/guidance you have given me has been priceless. I felt that my voice/concerns were always prioritised not just by Mark but by the whole team. Thank you

Mrs H.

Very helpful and professional advice resulting in a very satisfactory outcome to my divorce. Highly recommended.

Mr C.

I just wanted to say thank you and express my appreciation for the support you gave me during this very long and stressful period of my life.

I commend your professionalism and communication skills. Though the wait was long and frustrating at times, you took the time to explain things to me and answered my questions with honesty. You were never dismissive nor disrespectful as some previous legal practitioners were since the start of my journey and I appreciated that.

Please never change and from the bottom of my heart, a massive thank you.

Mrs A.

Upon commencing my association with Higgins Miller, I experienced a heightened sense of apprehension and anxiety regarding the impending legal proceedings. Throughout the course of the year, I interacted with several solicitors, each of whom demonstrated exceptional professionalism and dedication. They maintained consistent communication, providing me with regular updates and effectively alleviating my concerns. Ultimately, I emerged victorious in my case, and I am profoundly grateful to Higgins Miller for their invaluable assistance. Without their expertise and support, the outcome could have been drastically different.
