The general rule is the petitioner (i.e. the person applying for divorce) is responsible for paying any fees that may occur during the divorce process, such as solicitor fees. However, it is possible that the petitioner may include a claim in their divorce application, that the respondent should pay the petitioner’s own fees.
-
When speaking to a divorce solicitor for the first time, it is advisable to be prepared and come up with a list of questions that you want answered. These are the questions that divorce solicitors are typically asked at the first meeting
- Will my divorce go to courts?
- Will I get custody of my child?
- How much will my divorce cost?
- How long will my divorce take?
- How much can I claim in a divorce settlement?
While these are the most typically asked questions, it is more beneficial for you to ask the following of asking of your divorce solicitor:
- Who will be working on my divorce case and what are their qualifications?
- How much experience do you have in dealing with divorce cases?
- How often do I expect to hear from you with updates on my divorce case?
- Are there any steps I can take to keep costs down?
- How will my assets be valued?
-
It is entirely possible that two parties can share the same divorce solicitor – as this can often speed up the divorce process and help minimise the impact of family. This is particularly useful in the event of an amicable or no-fault divorce.
-
If you are unhappy with your current legal representation, then you have every right to change your solicitor at any stage of the divorce process.
