Andrew Isaacs Law is a family law firm with its head office at Atlas Business Park in Doncaster. Our Doncaster family team advises on divorce and separation, financial settlements and arrangements for children, from a first question through to a final court order. There is free parking outside the office, and appointments are available in person, by phone or by video.
The family team is supervised by Amanda Page, our Senior Family Law Solicitor, who qualified in 1985 and is a member of Resolution. Clients also work with Arron Scott, our Family Department Manager, and Francesca Mears, our Senior Family Law Paralegal.
Andrew Isaacs Law also supports unmarried couples with property and financial disputes, including claims under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act (TOLATA) and cohabitation agreements. Contact our Doncaster office and we will arrange for the right solicitor to advise you. You can learn more about how we support unmarried couples.
We publish our divorce fees so you know where you stand before you start. Where the divorce is not disputed, our fixed fee is £650 plus VAT if you are the applicant, plus the court fee, or £350 plus VAT if you are the respondent. Any work outside the fixed fee, such as a contested divorce or advice on finances or children, is charged at our hourly rates, and we will discuss the cost with you before that work starts.
Your first appointment is an initial consultation. It is not free, and we will tell you the cost when you book.

Family law matters in Doncaster are heard at Doncaster Justice Centre South (College Road, DN1 3HS). The court covers divorce, financial settlements, children matters, non-molestation and occupation orders, and other family proceedings. Our Doncaster office is local to the court and we regularly attend hearings on behalf of clients across South Yorkshire. Due to space issues some Doncaster cases may be listed in Sheffield.
We offer a fixed fee divorce so you know the cost of the divorce itself before you start. Where the divorce is not disputed, the fixed fee is £650 plus VAT for the applicant, plus the court fee, or £350 plus VAT for the respondent. If issues become contested, or you need work outside the fixed fee, that work is charged at our hourly rates and we will discuss it with you first.
Under the no-fault divorce process introduced in April 2022, an uncontested divorce in Doncaster typically takes a minimum of 26 weeks (6 months) from the application being issued to the final order. This includes a mandatory 20-week reflection period before a conditional order can be applied for, and a further 6 weeks before the final order. In general it takes on average 8 months. Financial settlements and arrangements for children can run alongside the divorce and may extend the overall timeline.
No. Our Doncaster head office serves clients across the Doncaster area including Bawtry, Mexborough, Conisbrough and the surrounding villages. Many of our clients also work with us remotely by phone, video call and email.
No-fault divorce came into effect in England and Wales on 6 April 2022. It removed the requirement to prove one of five grounds (adultery, unreasonable behaviour, desertion, two years’ separation with consent, or five years’ separation). Either spouse, or both jointly, can now simply state that the marriage has broken down irretrievably. The reform applies in Doncaster as it does throughout England and Wales.
Yes. We help parents in Doncaster reach arrangements about where children live, how often they see each parent, schools, holidays, and other day-to-day decisions. Most cases resolve through negotiation or mediation. Where court is necessary, we represent clients at Doncaster Justice Centre in Child Arrangements Order applications, Specific Issue Orders and Prohibited Steps Orders. Mediation is normally required (via a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting, known as a MIAM) before applying to court.
A financial order (sometimes called a financial remedy order or consent order) is a legally binding court order that sets out how a couple’s assets, pensions, property, savings and debts will be divided on divorce. Without a financial order, your former spouse can make a financial claim against you even years after the divorce is finalised. We strongly recommend every divorcing couple in Doncaster obtain a financial order, whether by agreement (consent order) or following court proceedings.
Yes. Andrew Isaacs Law advises unmarried couples on cohabitation agreements and on property and financial disputes when relationships break down, including TOLATA claims under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996. Contact our Doncaster office and we will arrange for the right solicitor to advise you.
We offer will-writing services from our Doncaster office covering simple and complex estates. A standard will typically requires one or two meetings. We also handle Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) for property and financial affairs and for health and welfare, probate, and trusts. Our Doncaster wills team can visit clients at home where required, including in Doncaster Royal Infirmary or local care homes.
The Court of Protection makes decisions for people who lack mental capacity to make decisions themselves. We handle Deputyship applications (where a Deputy is appointed to manage a vulnerable person’s affairs), statutory wills, gifts and asset management for protected parties. This is a specialist area and we serve clients across Doncaster and South Yorkshire dealing with capacity issues in the family.
Yes. We provide urgent legal protection for victims of domestic abuse in Doncaster, including non-molestation orders (preventing harassment, threats or violence) and occupation orders (regulating who can live in the family home). Applications can be made on an emergency without-notice basis where there is immediate risk. The Doncaster Justice Centre hears these matters and we routinely attend on behalf of clients. Local support also includes the Doncaster Domestic Abuse Hub.
Yes. Andrew Isaacs Law has experience in international divorce including British expat divorces, jurisdiction disputes, and child abduction cases under the Hague Convention. We also handle same-sex divorce and civil partnership dissolution, which follows the same legal process as opposite-sex divorce.

Many family law matters now run remotely. Initial consultations, document signing and most negotiation can be handled by phone, video call and email.
