£399 consent order no solicitor or £779 with solicitor

[Sunshineandwaterfalls]

We are at the final stages and need the financial consent order. In agreement.

should I go for quickie divorce £399
or divorce online £779

the only difference is the £779 one says they help to resolve matters if the judge doesn’t agree it

i am worried it is heavily weighted in my favour as I have a pension (not sharing) and ex agreed to sign equity to me to live in the house with our children. I always paid the mortgage. He took his car worth £40k and I could say I don’t want maintenance… as a back up if not agreed.

would a judge order the sale of a house to give one party some equity in not in interests of children to live? ex does not want any share of house.

Really torn on which option to go for?

Go for the £779 Divorce Online option. It’s more expensive, but it gives you help if the judge questions the financial consent order — which could happen since you’re keeping the house and pension, and he’s walking away with the car and no claim.

Even though you’re both in agreement and the setup supports the children’s stability, a judge still needs to be satisfied it’s fair. The £779 package gives you support to respond if anything needs changing or explaining.

It’s unlikely the judge would order the house to be sold if children are living there and your ex doesn’t want a share, but offering to waive maintenance (if you haven’t already) can help show it’s a clean and fair break.

Spending the extra now could save a lot of stress later.

Hi, I work for a solicitors as a paralegal and we offer a service drafting the Financial Order for a fixed competitive price. We also provide support during the whole process. Please send me a message if you would like more info.

If it's grossly unfair the judge may not grant the order.

I'm struggling with how much a consent order could cost... is there any fixed fee service people trust?

I have looked into doing it myself, the online company’s and a high street solicitor. I guess it depends on your circumstances but we agree I am just worried it will not be seen as fair enough. I’m going with divorce-online £399 as they have the most trust pilot reviews. Some will say £199 but when you call it goes up! My high street solicitor quotes £1200!

For the sake of less than 400 quid I would just pay for the better option.

my STBXH are using a solicitor firm for the consent order (he gets a family discount and we are splitting the cost between us so if was about 400 quid each). It’s all going through fine.

my Dp stbx wife is using some online non-solicitor thing for theirs and there have been nothing but problems there.
