Looking for fixed fee divorce solicitors? Lawson West Solicitors in Leicester provides clear, straightforward advice on no fault divorce, with transparent fixed fees and practical support to help you understand the process from start to finish.
A fixed fee divorce is a solicitor-led service where the legal work for a straightforward, uncontested divorce is charged at one agreed price. You’ll know what you’re paying from the outset, and you’ll have a divorce solicitor guiding you at every stage.
A fixed fee divorce works well when both parties accept that the marriage or civil partnership has broken down, neither side is disputing the application, and the work is limited to progressing the divorce itself.
It isn’t the right fit where there are unresolved financial issues, disagreements about children, complex assets, international elements, or court applications that go beyond the divorce process. In those situations, we’ll talk through your circumstances and recommend the right service for you.

For uncontested divorce matters, our fixed fee divorce service covers:
The fixed fee divorce service does not cover advice or negotiation about financial settlements, property, pensions, maintenance, business assets or children arrangements. These matters sit separately from the divorce application and need individual legal advice based on your circumstances. If any of those apply to you, our wider Family Law team is here to help and we’ll advise you on the next step.
Whether you’re starting the divorce application yourself or responding to one made by your spouse or civil partner, we’re here to support you. Here’s how we help in each situation:
A divorce legally ends the marriage or civil partnership, but it doesn’t automatically resolve the financial claims between you and your former partner. If you have property, savings, pensions, debts, business interests or maintenance issues to sort out, you will need separate advice on a financial settlement or financial order. We’ll guide you on the right time to address these alongside the divorce itself.
If you’re considering divorce and want a clear conversation about whether a fixed fee service is right for you, we’re here to help. Our Family Law team in Leicester offers a free initial discussion — we’ll talk through your circumstances and explain exactly what happens next, with no cost and no obligation.
As members of Resolution, we approach every divorce constructively, with the aim of keeping things calm and minimising conflict wherever we can. When you’re ready, give us a call or drop us a message and we’ll take it from there.
In most straightforward no-fault divorce cases, the process is completed online and neither party needs to attend court. More complex financial or children matters may require separate advice or court involvement.
A no fault divorce takes at least 26 weeks. There is a 20-week waiting period before you can apply for the conditional order, followed by a further wait before applying for the final order.
The divorce legally ends the marriage or civil partnership. The financial settlement deals with how assets, income, pensions, debts and property are divided. These are separate legal issues and should be considered carefully before the divorce is finalised.
