Fixed-fee divorce service

We understand that going through a divorce can be a stressful time, and the cost shouldn’t add to that stress. Here at Hamblin Family Law, trust, honesty, and reliability are at the core of what we do. That’s why we offer fixed fees on all our work, no matter how complicated, to any client who wants one, where funds are provided upfront, giving you peace of mind and complete cost certainty as you navigate your family dispute.

What is a fixed-fee divorce?

A fixed-fee divorce is where you pay a set amount for the legal expertise and services required to obtain your divorce. We understand that financial uncertainty can add stress to an already difficult time. Our fixed-fee divorce packages eliminate this worry, giving you confidence and clarity about your costs on this side of your case from day one.

We are proud to be one of the very first legal practices for high-net-worth individuals to guarantee to offer fixed-fee packages, no matter how complicated, and including all the financial and children issues that may stem from your divorce.

Our fixed fee for dealing with your divorce proceedings (where jurisdiction is not disputed, and excluding any advice relating to your children finance) is £1,500 plus VAT. Fixed fee proposals will also be offered to you, on a bespoke basis, for any contested divorce, or jurisdiction challenge that you may need to resolve.

Talk to us today to explore your options. We will assess your situation and, when we have the details we need, provide you with a fixed-fee proposal that can cover all of your other associated financial and child-related issues.

Fixed-fees vs. Traditional hourly rates for your Divorce, Financial and Children proceedings

Fixed-fee Traditional hourly charging
1. Cost Agreed price with no hidden fees for each stage of work, with no surprises. Costs vary based on the complexity of the case and how much time is spent on your case, and can lead to bills that are far higher than expected every month.

It is, of course, possible for less cost to be incurred on an hourly rate, but in our experience, that rarely happens.
2. Transparency Full clarity on pricing from the earliest possible date. Costs can fluctuate, making it harder to predict the final expense.
3. Timeframe Streamlined process with a structured timeline that can often result in cases being resolved more quickly and efficiently. Can take longer without the structure of a pre-agreed timetable.
4. Stress level Lower stress due to clear pricing and a structured process, and funds paid upfront. Can be more stressful due to the unpredictability in cost and duration and the impact of unexpected bills and demands on your finances.

FAQs

We will talk through your situation with you and provide a detailed and staged fixed-fee proposal to suit your needs. It will then be necessary to pay any agreed fixed fee in advance of each relevant stage of work to secure your cost certainty.
A fixed fee is ideal for those seeking a straightforward and transparent process. It is possible, where cases settle earlier than expected or where fewer issues need to be determined than first envisaged, that fixed fees can work out as more expensive for clients than the traditional hourly rate. However, that is very rare, and almost all of our clients who have agreed on a fixed fee have made tremendous savings compared to what would have been charged under the hourly rate model.
