Some family solicitors offer fixed-fee packages for advice or specific stages of arranging child residence and contact during divorce proceedings. The fee may cover only defined work, such as an initial consultation or preparing an application, while negotiations, hearings and additional correspondence are charged separately. Ask for a written breakdown of what is included, likely extra costs and whether VAT applies, as prices depend on the circumstances. A solicitor regulated by the SRA can explain the available options, including whether legal aid might apply.
