Divorce and Family Law Solicitors FAQs
Is mediation compulsory in family law?
Mediation is compulsory in family law unless your case involves child protection and domestic violence. You will be obliged to go to at least one mediation session and, if you cannot resolve your differences, then your case may go to court. However, the vast majority of cases do not end up in court and are now dealt with through mediation.
How much does a family law lawyer cost?
How much a family law lawyer will cost will vary, depending on your case. For cases that are uncontested and simple, we offer a fixed fee service. We also offer a tailored service for those wanting a more bespoke service, or those with complex cases.
Legal aid is still sometimes available for divorce, however, is it is normally only reserved for domestic violence or child protection cases. There is legal aid available for divorce mediation if you receive certain benefits or have a low income.
How long does it take to divorce?
How long it will take to divorce will depend on your specific case. Most uncontested and straight-forward divorces can be resolved in 6-12 months. The average is about 12 months. However, if your case in more complex, it may take much longer. Typically, cases that do not go to court take a much shorter time to conclude than those that do.
