Lauren Roche is a Legal 500 Recommended Lawyer and one of our most trusted divorce solicitors in Worcester. She guides couples through the divorce and civil partnership dissolution process with expertise. We recognise there is a wait for a date at Worcester Combined Court, but we’ll use this time to finalise your Final Order and negotiate child arrangement orders. This allows us to mitigate potential delays and additional costs.
Divorce lawyers
Our children’s solicitors will support the whole family during their child law case. We recognise that legal proceedings can be stressful, which is why we also offer non-court dispute resolution solutions (NCDR), like mediation. Where possible, we prioritise this option during your care proceedings, grandparents’ rights case, and custody agreements (now referred to as child arrangement orders).

Rachel Fisher, a Band 4 ranked lawyer according to Chambers and Partners, often aids couples in Worcester who need to divide their finances during divorce or separation.

Financial divorce lawyers
As family law solicitors in Worcester, our experts can draft a cohabitation agreement to give unmarried couples who live together contractual certainty.

Not at all. Here in England and Wales, you do not need to present a reason for your divorce as we have a ‘no-fault divorce’ sys. With this in mind, during your divorce application, all you need to do is say that the marriage has broken down.
The court fee for a divorce is £612 – which is a standard cost. However, the price for the other aspects of your divorce, like solicitor fees, vary due to the complexities of the case. This can include if children are involved and any financial settlements.
If there is a court order that declares where a child lives, they have to do that until they are 18. If not, a child can choose where to live at 16.
Each divorce is unique, and therefore the length of the process differs. On average, a simple divorce is complete between 6 and 8 months but this doesn’t include complicating factors, such as children or finances.
