How much help do you need?

There are three ways I can help, depending on how far you’ve already got.

If you need help working out what’s fair, The Full Support takes you through the whole process.

If you’ve reached an agreement and want a solicitor to check it, The Agreement Review gives you a legal review and the documents to make it binding.

If you’ve agreed everything and just need the court paperwork, The Consent Order Service makes your agreement legally binding.

Whichever you choose, I work with both of you together.

The Full Support:

“We need help working out what's fair.”

For couples who want to reach an agreement together but need help understanding what's fair and working through the decisions.

You don't need to have agreed how you're going to divide everything before you come to me.

I'll work with you both through the whole process - helping you understand your financial position, what needs to be considered and what the law says about fairness in your circumstances.

Where there are decisions to make or things you're not sure about, I'll help you work through them together so you can reach an agreement that works for both of you.

Once you've reached an agreement, I'll make sure everything is properly documented and prepare the legal paperwork needed to make it binding.

✅ What’s included:

✔ A structured financial disclosure process - so you both have a clear picture of the finances before making decisions

✔ Shared legal guidance for you both - so you both understand what the law considers fair in your circumstances

✔ Help working through the decisions together - including any sticking points where you're finding it difficult to agree

✔ A professionally drafted Separation Agreement recording what you've agreed

✔ A Consent Order setting out your financial agreement for the court to approve

✔ Preparation and support with all required court paperwork

Fixed fee: £1,750 per person (£3,500 per couple)

You can find my terms and conditions of engagement here.

Outcome:

A financial agreement you've reached together, with everything properly documented and submitted to the court for approval - so you can both move forward knowing it's been dealt with properly.

The Agreement Review

“We've reached an agreement, but want a solicitor to check it.”

For couples who have already worked out how they want to divide their finances and want a solicitor to review what they’ve agreed and formalise it properly.

You’ve done the difficult part yourselves and reached an agreement together.

Now you want to make sure you understand the legal implications of what you’ve agreed, identify any issues that need to be considered and get everything properly documented.

I’ll work with you both to review your proposed agreement, explain any legal issues you need to be aware of and prepare the documents needed to formalise it.

✅ What’s included:

✔ A focused financial disclosure process - so I have the information I need to properly review your agreement

✔ A legal review of your proposed settlement - including whether there are any issues you need to consider before going ahead

✔ Shared legal guidance for you both - so you understand the implications of what you’ve agreed

✔ A professionally drafted Separation Agreement - recording your agreement

✔ A Consent Order setting out your financial agreement for the court to approve

✔ Preparation and support with all required court paperwork

Fixed fee: £1,250 per person (£2,500 per couple)

Outcome:

The agreement you’ve already reached has been legally reviewed, properly documented and submitted to the court for approval - so you can move forward knowing it’s been dealt with properly.

The Consent Order Service

"We’ve agreed everything. We just need it made legally binding.”

For couples who have already reached a full agreement, both understand what they’re dividing, and don’t need legal advice on whether it’s fair.

You’ve worked it all out together and you’re both happy with what you’ve agreed.

Now you need the court paperwork prepared properly, so your agreement can be approved and made legally binding.

I’ll take the agreement you’ve reached and prepare the documents the court needs to approve it.

✅ What’s included:

✔ A short information-gathering process, so I have the financial details the court requires

✔ A professionally drafted Consent Order setting out your agreement for the court to approve

✔ Preparation of the supporting court forms

✔ A written explanation for the court if the judge raises questions about your agreement (one round included)

❌ What’s not included:

✘ Advice on whether your agreement is fair

✘ A Separation Agreement

If I notice anything that could cause a problem with court approval, I’ll tell you.

Fixed fee: £750 per person (£1,500 per couple)

Outcome:

Your agreement is properly documented and submitted to the court for approval, so it becomes legally binding and you can both move on.
