When you’ve explored all options for resolving the issues within your marriage, sometimes divorce is the last resort for many couples.
At an emotionally stressful time, you need support and effective legal advice. We welcome you to book an initial appointment with us to discuss the early stages of the divorce process and how we can work together to achieve a successful outcome for both individuals.
Being able to speak openly and honestly, our divorce law solicitors in York, Malton, Selby and Pickering will give you the opportunity to ask any questions or concerns you may have during the process. Some divorce cases can be handled quickly and easily, whereas others require a longer period where children and financial assets are to be carefully handled.
Our motto of “specialist legal advice when you need it” applies to all our departments but going through a divorce can require the expertise of a solicitor on a regular basis whilst plans are put in place. We are here when you need us, if you need us, and our family law experts will help you reach a settlement appropriate for your family.
As a leading family law firm in North Yorkshire, we offer a transparent fixed fee divorce cost service to make that first step even easier.

How we can help you with every part of your divorce
Initiating & responding to divorce proceedings
Our divorce solicitors can guide you through the whole legal process of ending your marriage, whether you are the one initiating divorce proceedings or need help responding to proceedings initiated by your spouse.

Divorce financial settlements
Separating your finances is often the most complex part of getting divorced, but is also essential to allow you to make a clean break and move on with your life. Our divorce solicitors can help you to get a fair settlement that meets your needs, usually without the need for court proceedings.
If you are facing the end of your marriage or civil partnership it is really important not to overlook pensions. Getting divorced can be emotional and stressful and looking at the assets including pensions can seem daunting. Speak to your divorce solicitor about your financial position and don’t overlook pensions just because they can seem complicated.
The Pensions Advisory Guide is designed to help people who are separating work out what to do re pensions and divorce, what the law says on pension sharing or splitting and how to come to an agreement. It also sets out what other help is available to help you plan for the future.

Children & divorce
If you have children, deciding where there will live and other what role each parent will play in their lives tends to be the most emotionally challenging part of divorce. Our team can assist with making arrangements for children voluntarily as well as guiding you through applying to a Family Court for a Children Arrangement Order where required.

Using alternative dispute resolution for your divorce
Most people are keen to avoid court proceedings when dealing with divorce, which is something we fully understand. Our team are highly skilled in using alternative dispute resolution for divorce, with our family lawyers including trained mediators and collaborative lawyers.
Family mediation is one of the most common ways to deal with financial settlements and arrangements for children during divorce. This involves you and your spouse having a series of meetings with a trained mediator who will guide you in discussing any issues that need to be resolved and help you work towards agreeing positive solutions.
Find out more about our family mediation services.
Collaborative law is often an alternative to mediation that can be highly effective. While the goal is still for you and your spouse to agree the details of your divorce arrangements, you will do with each supported by your own legal adviser, who must be trained in collaborative law. This means you will have you own legal expert on hand to advise you and ensure your interests stay protected.
Find out more about our collaborative law services.
Our divorce advice fees
The cost of dealing with your divorce can be a worry, so we aim to make our pricing as fair and transparent as possible, so you have a clear idea how much your divorce is likely to cost.
We are able to offer fixed fee divorce packages covering the legal process of getting divorced, including completing and filing your divorce petition, standard correspondence with your spouse and their solicitors and applying for the decree nisi and decree absolute.
For more complex matters, including making divorce settlements and arrangements for children, we may be able to deal with each stage of the process on a fixed fee basis or charge according to an hourly rate, depending on the circumstances.
