Financial Matters

We sometimes offer a fixed fee structure. However, sometimes it is appropriate to discuss fees directly with you, when it becomes necessary to go to Court to resolve matrimonial finances – i.e. how the matrimonial home, other assets, debts and pensions should be dealt with.


Children

Sometimes it becomes necessary to start Court proceedings to decide where children should live and how much time they should spend with each parent.  It may also be necessary to begin Court proceedings to decide on issues such as which school a child should attend, whether one parent be allowed to re-locate with a child or change his or her surname.  To act on either party’s behalf, to include representation at the First Hearing (locally) our fees will be up to £3,500 plus VAT (£4,200 including VAT).  In addition, you may need to pay the Court fee (as from the 30th September 2021) of £232.
