At Ashtons Legal, we know that our clients want to have certainty about their legal costs, especially when dealing with something as difficult as divorce and separation.
If you and your partner are looking for a quick and easy way to get a divorce or dissolve your civil partnership, then our fixed-fee divorce package may be right for you.
Fixed fee divorce packages are a good choice for straightforward divorces, where neither party is contesting the divorce, and you are just looking for help with the divorce proceedings rather than looking to deal with financial matters or arrangements for children, which would remain separate from the divorce.
Should you have more complex needs, we can assist you with our bespoke divorce service.
Our team can help deal with your divorce on a fixed fee basis if you are:
- The Applicant (the person applying for divorce)
- The Respondent (your spouse is applying for divorce).
Our fixed fee divorce prices start from £744 (including VAT) with a discounted rate of £624 (including VAT) if paid within seven days of our initial meeting.

How our fixed fee divorce packages work
What is included in our fixed fee divorce package:
The costs include all the processes necessary to complete the divorce as either the Applicant or the Respondent.
For Applicants, our fixed fee package includes:
- Preparing & submitting the divorce petition
- Handling any correspondence with the court and/or your spouse
- Applying for the decree nisi
- Applying for the decree absolute.
For Respondents, our fixed fee package includes:
- Responding to the divorce petition
- Handling any correspondence with the court and/or your spouse
- Applying for the decree nisi or decree absolute if your spouse fails to do so.
What is not included in our fixed fee divorce package:
The fixed cost system can only apply on the basis that the divorce is not defended and both parties are willing to cooperate in the divorce process. In the vast majority of divorces, this service will be applicable.
Any level of complexity which causes a case to fall outside of the fixed fee scheme will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
If your divorce is more complex or becomes a defended divorce suit, then we offer a more bespoke service. Our bespoke divorce service is still very competitive and great value. It is just more tailored to your needs.
Our fixed-fee divorce service does not address children or financial issues. However, we are happy to discuss these matters with you under our bespoke service. Find out more about our expertise with divorce financial settlements and children law.
Before deciding on fee options, we will discuss with you whether the fixed fee option is both appropriate and likely to save you money.
How our fixed fee divorce package works:
Costs are usually paid in three instalments but may also be paid from the outset. Please see our divorce fixed fee package information for full details.
