£500 Service / Introductory Advice

Price: From £500

The introductory Advice Session is a single, fixed-fee meeting to understand your legal position and options — no ongoing commitment required, designed for couples who aren't ready to commit to a full process yet.

Not every couple is ready to commit to a full process on day one — some just need to understand where they stand before deciding anything.

This is a single, fixed-fee session covering your situation, your legal options, and what a realistic path forward looks like — with no obligation to continue afterward. It’s also the recommended first step before mediation, since it gives you the legal grounding a neutral mediator can’t provide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking this commit us to anything further?

No — it's a standalone session. Many couples use it to decide their next step, including whether joint advice, mediation, or another route is right for them.

Is £500 the final price?

Why fixed-fee divorce advice costs what it does

Quick answers

If we change our minds during the process and don't want to continue, what happens to any fees we have paid?
Our fees are paid stage-by-stage, which means you do not pay for stages you have not reached and can stop the process at any time. The £200 Introductory Session fee is non-refundable once used, since it covers those sessions specifically, but it's deducted from your total fee if you proceed further. There's also a 14-day cooling-off period at the start of instructing us, provided no work has been done in that window.
Is mediation cheaper than joint legal advice?
Often yes on a per-session basis, but mediation alone doesn't give you legal advice — you may still need a lawyer to make any agreement legally binding. Many couples find the combined cost of mediation plus an introductory Advice Session compares well against two separate solicitors. [TODO: confirm comparative figures with pricing team.]
Does the fixed fee include court fees?
No — court fees (such as the divorce application fee, or the fee for submitting a consent order) sit outside the fixed fee for advice and are paid separately, at the rates the court sets. [TODO: confirm current court fee figures and whether we display them, since these change independently of our pricing.]
