Obtaining a low cost divorce

There are many services today offering a low cost divorce. It is possible to use a cheap divorce service or to obtain a do-it-yourself divorce kit. Some solicitors will offer a fixed-fee low cost divorce.

However, what you need to consider is whether a low cost divorce service is suitable for you, or whether your circumstances may mean that you need more thorough, tailored advice and assistance. For example, an online divorce service may provide you with an easy guide to divorce, explaining the basic legal and financial issues of divorce, but it cannot be a substitute for advice relevant to your circumstances. If you need to sort out details regarding children and property you will need the advice of a family solicitor. Only a solicitor can advise you on how the law applies to your particular circumstances. A solicitor can advise what your rights should be in relation to children and property, and negotiate on your behalf.

Additionally, without receiving legal advice, you run the risk of finding out later on that the mutual agreement you and you spouse made at the time of your divorce has in fact put you at a disadvantage. A major risk of using a divorce kit is that if you get it wrong it may be more expensive and difficult to sort out later down the line. Before completing any paperwork you should ensure that you receive legal advice about it.
