💡 Tips to reduce costs

Agree as much as possible - every dispute increases costs dramatically
Use mediation - typically 50-70% cheaper than going to court
Apply for Help with Fees - if on low income, court fees can be waived
Get a fixed fee quote - some solicitors offer fixed fees for uncontested divorces
Consider unbundled services - pay a solicitor for specific tasks only
Do the divorce yourself - the online application is straightforward if uncontested

⚠️ Estimate only
