Financial order

9 replies

Saturday12345 · 13/01/2024 08:08

My husband and I have been separated for a couple of years. We both have new partners, and respective homes.

However, we did not get divorced on separation. We have one child together age 15.

We have been through the online divorce process to keep cost low, and have been granted a conditional order. but we need the financial order. The order is an agreed clean break, no claims etc. When I speak with solicitors about this I have been quoted £4000.00, which is not affordable.

Is there a quick cheap way to do a financial order ? Thank you for your advice.

You can do it yourself, but it's not advisable.

Thank you for your reply.
Why do you think its not advisable ?
Thanks

We charge less than half of this. Shop around.

Definitely shop around, I paid a fixed fee of £600 and that was in the last couple of years

Thank you for your replies 🙏

I have been looking at the online options. But they have mixed reviews. Anyone have experience of that ?

Bumping this thread (hope you don't mind, OP) as I'm.in a similar situation.

Agree with shopping around if it’s just a clean break. Go to a small local family law firm. £4k is quite high.

Just for the sake of comparison - we do this for £1500 plus vat and court fee. Others may do it cheaper, and others will cost more. Use this as a barometer. We've set our fixed fees on a detailed analysis of how long we take to do an average consent order.

@Saturday12345 did you find a solution? I’m in the same situation
