Product and service categories

Online divorce

The simple divorce service includes preparation and submission of the divorce application to the court. A case manager is available throughout the process, and the online portal shows case progress. This service deals with the divorce, rather than property, finances or pensions.

Divorce and consent orders

The combined service covers the divorce application and a financial consent order. Solicitors draft the order using details of the financial agreement, and the service submits the divorce and order documents to the court. It is for couples who have already reached an agreement and does not include negotiation support or a pension sharing order.

Clean break orders

The clean break order service provides an order and documents for submission to the court. It is intended for couples with no property to split, no children under 18, no significant savings, investments or pensions to share, and no reliance on each other’s income. The service includes guidance on submitting the documents to the court yourself.

Online consent orders

The online consent order service includes a solicitor-drafted order based on an agreement already reached. It can cover arrangements involving property, savings, investments, debts, maintenance and pensions, including pension offsetting or each person keeping their own pension. The service prepares documents and provides guidance for submitting them to the court; cases involving more than one property, business assets or pension sharing require the full service consent order option.

Full service consent orders

The full service option includes solicitor drafting and court submission of the consent order. It can deal with pension sharing where required and includes up to 30 minutes of legal advice. The service is for clients who have already agreed their terms and does not include negotiation of the agreement.

Prenuptial agreements

The prenuptial agreement service includes solicitor drafting, amendments and storage of the signed agreement. It covers drafting for both parties and legal advice for one party. The other party needs separate legal advice.

Postnuptial agreements

The postnuptial agreement service includes a solicitor-drafted agreement and initial amendments. It also includes legal advice on signing for one party and arrangements for signing. Solicitors can store the original agreement.

Separation agreements

The separation agreement service includes solicitor drafting based on the agreement reached. It includes legal advice on signing, correspondence with the other party’s solicitor where applicable, and storage of the original agreement. The agreement can cover matters such as debts, savings, pensions, personal property and arrangements for children.
