What is the absolute cheapest way to divorce WITH financial order?

[justgotosleepffs]

I was under the impression that if you can agree everything between you, then its just the £600 court fee plus the cost of getting a solicitor to draft the financial order: £500? £1000? More?

Just spoke to a friend going through it and they said it still costs £1000s even if you agree everything.

Please share if you have experience of divorcing cheaply

Just had the court fee myself, and did the orders ourselves.

I suppose if there's a chance one of you is going to make it really big and would be-grudge a small sum to a disgruntled ex in many, many years, then best to get a solicitor to write up any order. (like paying £300k when you're worth £100million -- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-36499818 ). And even that may have over-ridden any order, as he claimed there was one.

The 600 court fee is income based and i wasn’t earning much at the time so it was waived. He was a high earner so i made the application and petitioned him, no fee.

We paid for the consent order, was about 1200 quid i think but we had a discount.

So about 1200 all in.
