Has anyone use amicable.io for a divorce?

[carpebin]

Hello, I am wondering if anyone had used the company amicable to sort their divorce, rather than a solicitor? Any positives or negatives that you could share? We are pretty much in the same page with most things and there is largely agreement on the big and small stuff but there may be slight complications with splitting the house sale money because a portion of the house is an investment by a family member. Really appreciate if anyone has any experiences of not using a solicitor but using a third party to make sure everything is watertight. Thank you

If you are amicable - you'll still need a legal document - consent decree that would go to court and needs to be approved by a judge. So - you will need a legal professional to write it - and a solicitor is best placed for it.

You can use just one - to draft the document based on the agreement you and your H have reached. They will know how to deal with house revenue sale split.

Using a solicitor in that capacity - just to write things up/ revue - isn't going to be very expensive.

No experience of amicable.io will look them up. I had a good experience with the free advice from.Wikivorce though and they have a team you can hire to somthey financial elements of a split that cost less than solicitors. Info is on their site so you can compare for if it meets the legal standard.you need for the portion that is owned by someone as.

If you are amicable you can file divorced yourself cost about 500 pounds.

If the house is for sale will be around 600- 800 plus for solicitors also to add the seller fee, obviously if you sale the house yourself that will be cheap but not free. There may be taxes to be involved, stamp duty and taxes for next year depending on the amount recieved.

If you got a mortgage check with your lender you may have to pay an interest fee of a few thousands to be able to terminate the mortgage contract.

See how much they charge you because you can spend a lot of time doing all the paperwork and you may want the time for other stuff.

We used them.

They were helpful and good.

Process not particularly fast but that was mostly the courts.

Agree with others, I would apply for the divorce yourself online. They ate all no fault now so quite easy to do, just follow the steps on the government website. Then contact a Solicitor straightaway to draw up the Financial Order.

You need to submit the Financial Order Application after the Conditional Order (Decree Nisi) and before the Final Order (Decree Absolute).

Hi OP
I filed for divorce myself using the gov. website, this was just before the introduction of ‘no fault’ and it was a really straightforward process. I used a company called ‘Mediate UK’ who sorted out the financial split, consent order etc. and they were great and very reasonable priced.

Thanks everyone for your replies, I relay appreciate it. We are amicable but we are both conscious that it isn't going to be a process without pitfalls! I've looked at the option of total diy but I think we need some help with the financial aspects and being really clear about how it's going to work with our daughter. I think there is a lot in the idea that getting some help with it means we'll have time for other things and it could help prevent any friction. I'll look up wikidivorce too, thanks for that idea too!

Avoid, avoid, avoid. This company is absolutely terrible when it comes to communication and compassion. They are cold, rude and very unhelpful. I suspect some of these reviews are fabricated. Amicable have not only lied to me on several occasions but have made me wait almost a month to be refunded for errors on their part. When communication between me and my wife broke down, I requested that the joint divorce application be cancelled so she could put in a sole application. Amicable deliberately wasted time by not responding to my emails for up to 5 days at a time so they could see it get to court and not refund me the £595 I had to pay. On top of this they lied to me and tried to tell me my wife had paid the fee, even when sending them bank statements and evidence they tried to insinuate I was lying. I was also charged my wife's monthly fee of £100. I have chased this several times with little to no communication back, and when I do receive a reply, it's lies - I was told I'd have to wait 5 days for the refund, then two weeks later another 5 days... eventually after chasing again I was rudely sent nothing but a screenshot that they had processed the refund on the 25th June!! Going through a divorce is an emotional, stressful and financially difficult situation. Amicable show no empathy, kindness or professionalism. Despite it originally being a joint application they refused to refund me the court process fees and deliberately delayed their communications. I've not had a single apology. No sign of remorse. They are NOT regulated and therefore can provide this terrible service with no repercussions. I'll be taking my case to the ombudsman for further investigation after such an awful experience that has just added to the fuel to the fire I'm already burning in. With holding £200 from a single father who's having to sleep on a floor with not even so much as an apology is absolutely awful service. Save your money and go with professionals.

Not me but my friend and it did work for them even though he had left her for OW -there were lots of assets and it meant that they were not depleted by huge legal fees and acrimony. She was happy with the outcome.
Was hoping to use them myself but ska exh was too bitter.
