The Fire Station bus stop (which is wheelchair accessible) is a one-minute walk from the Court. The Mortimer Road bus stop is a three-minute walk away and also has a diversion through Petersfield Play Area, which can be a nice spot to have a moment of calm on a very stressful day.

If arriving by car, the Adam & Eve Street car park is only a 3-minute walk to the Courts.

Solicitor’s tip: If you’re nervous about attending court, we understand. This is why we’ve put together a guide on what to expect at Cambridge County and Family Court, to provide you with peace of mind that makes the day a little less intimidating.

Divorce costs can vary due to individual circumstances. Once you have spoken to your solicitor about your situation, they will be able to give you a cost estimate. For divorces that require finances, property, and child arrangements to be resolved, additional information about fees can be found in our divorce costs  and divorce pricing guides. For couples who are separating amicably, we also offer a fixed-fee package for straightforward divorces.

We recognise how emotionally taxing family law matters can be. Tensions can run high, which can lead to some heated conversations – more often than not, these never lead to anything productive. This is why our Cambridge divorce solicitors are Resolution members and specialists. We approach all of our cases from a non-confrontational angle, working hard to minimise conflict and stress where possible.

Due to this, we offer a range of non-court dispute resolution options, including:

Arbitration

Mediation

Collaborative law

We solve over 80% of our cases outside of court, so you can trust that our experts can navigate difficult conversations with ease and negotiate in a way that prioritises calm and productive outcomes.

Nowadays, a divorce takes between 6-8 months on average, thanks to the introduction of no-fault divorce in 2022. However, this can be longer depending on if you have a complex financial settlement, parenting plans to consider, and how engaged your spouse is during the divorce process.

For example, negotiations during your divorce settlement may take longer than expected, or your spouse may be late on filling out the final order. Our divorce solicitors will listen to your circumstances and provide an estimate of how long your divorce will take, but of course, this could be longer depending on what happens during your case.

If you’re at the beginning of your divorce journey, take a look at our guide on the step-by-step process of a divorce. This will guide you through every stage of the journey so you understand what to expect.
