a. Instructing a Solicitor

Unless the split is amicable and there are no financial issues to be decided and no children involved we most strongly recommend that you take good professional advice from a specialist Divorce Lawyer. This will give you peace of mind in that you will be sure that your rights are being protected and there will be no future financial comebacks if individual circumstances change. When selecting a Divorce Lawyer we advise that more than any other factor you need to look for experience. An experienced Lawyer will have experienced most situations and will usually be able to get you what you are entitled to out of the marriage in financial terms and also ensure that where children are involved, their best interests are protected. Solicitors fees can vary enormously. If yours is not a complex case there should be no need to go for the most expensive Solicitor providing they have the necessary experience.

Our Directory is designed to let you have a look at profiles of Divorce Solicitors in your area and to see how much they will charge you. You will have the opportunity to select the Solicitor that suits you rather than approach a firm you have found in the Yellow Pages and be allocated to a solicitor in who you are not fully confident
Most Solicitors profiled on our site offer a free initial interview and Legal Aid is often available if you cannot afford a solicitor. You may have to pay the legal aid fund back in certain circumstances but the advantage of having a Solicitor far outweighs the expense. It is however, often the case that costs are recoverable from the other side particularly if they are financially better off than you.
Solicitors profiled have been fully vetted by this site and are also approved and regulated by The Law Society.
If you feel that you could handle the matter yourself to save on costs please read the link on `Do it yourself divorces`.
