What is our Fixed Fee Divorce service?
Slee Blackwell’s Fixed Fee Divorce service provides complete transparency on legal costs – the fixed fee service outlines clearly what work will be done so you know exactly what is included.

In April 2022, ‘no-fault’ divorce was introduced. But although the new law has simplified the divorce process, the legal side of things can still be daunting, and many people choose to have legal assistance. By appointing us to handle matters for you, our family law specialists can remove the stress of litigation and having to communicate with your ex-partner.

The cost of our Fixed Fee Divorce Packages
- As an Applicant (the person issuing the proceedings), we offer a fixed fee service of £600 plus VAT, court fees, and disbursements.
- As the Respondent, the fixed fee is £325 plus VAT (this is a reduced fee as we will not have had to complete the divorce application for you but will advise you on the application you have received and assist you in completing the acknowledgment of service form.)
What is included in the fixed fee?
Our fixed fee divorce covers all the essential steps involved in an uncontested divorce, including:
- Initial call with you to gather all the required information.
- Once we have that information and your marriage certificate, and the court fee (or exemption code), we will complete the application form.
- We will write to you and your ex-spouse to confirm that we have submitted the application.
- We will forward to you all correspondence from the court about your divorce.
- We will diarise the dates for when your ex needs to have completed the acknowledgement (and progress the divorce to the next stage even if they do not acknowledge).
- We will then complete the conditional order application.
- We will confirm your instructions to apply for the final order at the appropriate time and then complete that application.
- We will provide you with the conditional order and the final order, which are important documents that you must keep safe
This service is ideal for couples who are in agreement about the divorce and do not have complex financial or child-related disputes.
What is not included?
- The court fee (which is currently April 2026 – £612). This is payable to the court unless you are exempt.
- Obtaining a copy of your marriage certificate if required.
- A process server fee if your ex is untraceable (this is rare and in most cases parties are keen to cooperate and move forward together).
- Advice about children matters.
- Advice about financial disputes.
- Mediation or collaborative law sessions.
- Amendments or re-filing of documents due to changes or errors outside our control.
- Court appearances or contested proceedings.
Should your circumstances change or additional legal work become necessary (to deal with finances or children, for example), we will always discuss any extra costs with you before proceeding.
