How much did you pay in total for your Final Consent Order if...

[PachinkoFreeFood]

... you both agreed on everything?
I have been quoted £1000 +VAT by a solicitor.

We used DivorceOnline.co.uk (OLS Solicitors) and the total was £649, plus the court fee, which I think was £53.

They were brilliant.

They had a couple of different options where they would do more or less of the work (think I went for the middle one).

@WonderingWhatsBest Thanks so much, I will check them out..

We went with a local place that quoted £600-800. Bill came at £1000 and I challenged them as ours was a very straightforward split and we already provided a draft document as we had been through mediation and financial disclosure already.
They wouldn't budge so I was really annoyed with their service.

We have been quoted £2,250 plus VAT for drafting and submitting the consent order. This seems an awful lot! We don’t need any mediation and are in agreement with how we will split everything.
WonderingWhatsBest, was it fairly straightforward with Divorce on Line? What was the process for you?

We didn't agree on anything except savings and pensions as there was nothing to really split there. There was a lot of arguing about the house though and then the kitchen roof fell in so there was extra arguing about payment for 50% of the repair.

All in I paid just under £2500 and I had an absolute shark of a solicitor. I won on every point I contested.

My ex-h claims to have been robbed of £6000 by his who was absolutely useless

Wow!! I'm in the process of applying for a final order now so I need to apply for a consent order before doing so. We've amicably agreed on everything and yet it's still going to cost this amount of money? For what? Can we just not draft the order ourselves and submit it to court ourselves? How can solicitors charge this when everything is so straight forward?

@Jeany1967 apparently if the application isn’t done exactly right for the court it’s likely to get rejected. I even asked a solicitor about doing a draft for him to then finalise but he said it would probably be more work to pick through it and make it right than for him to do it from scratch. I am so torn about what to do.

@Mrsm010918 that must have been incredibly stressful!
