My spouse/partner and I have separated and I need advice about divorce - how much will it cost to consult a solicitor?

We do not offer Legal Aid for this type of work and charge on an hourly rate basis. Please contact our Litigation team to arrange an appointment with one of our solicitors, who can advise you of the costs you might expect to incur.
