A fixed-fee divorce solicitor may cover specific stages, such as preparing the application and advising on the required paperwork, but the exact scope varies. Ask whether the quote includes VAT, court fees, responding to correspondence, and dealing with financial or child arrangements, as these may cost extra. Fixed fees can be less suitable where the divorce becomes disputed or financially complex, and additional work may then be charged separately. Check the written terms carefully and consider speaking to a solicitor regulated by the SRA about your circumstances.
