The Court requires you to provide up to date information and supporting documents as part of your divorce application. It is important that your and your spouse’s or civil partner’s name is spelt correctly on the divorce application. Documents that the Court may require include your marriage certificate, a translated copy if necessary, and any change of name deeds. It is crucial that any name change has been evidenced correctly, for example through a deed poll or change of name deed and that the details on the marriage certificate are carefully checked to ensure that these are accurate before starting proceedings.

Any mistakes or errors on the divorce application can lead to the Court rejecting your application and asking you to re-start the application process. Issues can also arise when applying for the Conditional or Final Order of the divorce. The Court may seek clarification on any information that is unclear on the divorce application. These issues can lead to unwanted and unnecessary delay.

We provide tailored advice on the documents that you need to submit to the Court alongside your divorce application. We can assist you in obtaining the documents, easing the stress associated with this aspect of the process. Additionally, the Court will ask about matters such as applying for financial remedy orders, existing divorce cases, and jurisdiction, in the divorce application. We offer guidance on addressing these elements to ensure a smooth application process and to minimise any delays with your application being processed.

We handle the preparation and submission of the divorce application on your behalf. Any correspondence from the Court regarding your divorce application will be carefully reviewed by our team, and you will receive specific advice on the next steps.

Solicitor Divorce Costs

At Fullers Family Law, we offer fixed-fee divorce services, providing clarity on the legal costs. The fee structure depends on whether you are the sole applicant in no-fault divorce proceedings or responding to your spouse’s application.

While you are responsible for the divorce fees when instructing a solicitor, it may be possible to negotiate for your spouse to cover or contribute towards these costs, especially if they agree to the divorce proceedings or are in a financially stronger position.
