Trusted Divorce Solicitors in Knutsford | Free Consultation

Disputes are rare but possible. We can help you with:

• Jurisdiction challenges
• Marriage validity issues
• Complex child arrangements

The average, undisputed divorce takes around 6 – 8 months from start to finish. This can be much longer if there are disputes over children or finances however.

We offer a fixed fee divorce of £1,500.00+VAT plus Court fees, which at the time of publishing are £612.00. Sometimes, your partner might agree to split this fee. This deals with the divorce itself – the dissolution of the marriage.

The financial side of a divorce, called "financial remedy" would need to be quoted on a case—by-case basis, because every situation is different. Some divorces involve £10,000 and some involve £10 million. Some spouses are very agreeable and some can be more obstructive. We may be able to offer you a fixed fee on your financial remedy case, so that you know exactly what you are paying and this would be addressed during your initial consultation.

Yes. In the UK, divorce records such as your final order are a matter of public record, but only certain information is available within these types of records:

• The names of both parties involved
• The date and place of the marriage
• Which Court granted the divorce

This basic information is recorded so that the divorce can be verified, for example, when checking eligibility to remarry.

However, the personal details of your divorce—such as financial agreements, child arrangements, and reasons for divorce—remain strictly confidential. These private aspects are not available to the public.

Subject to the circumstances in your case, it is generally a bad idea to move out of the family home, especially if there are children involved. It frequently generates arguments from the party remaining within the family home, that they have a need to keep this property and often leads to unfair settlements.

If you have been ousted from the family home and you have children, you will need to look into child arrangements. Cases with complicating features, whereby there are allegations of crime or you have been ousted from the family home can be particularly complex. Gavin Edmondson's substantial experience in criminal allegations of this nature make him ideally placed to give advice on these sorts of issues.

Ownership within the context of a family case is unimportant. A matrimonial home is considered property of both spouses in the marriage and the starting point is that both spouses each own 50% of the home, irrespective of who owns it on paper. Sometimes however, the 50/50 figure can be adjusted if the marriage is very short and one party has not contributed to the matrimonial home.
