You will know the cost before you commit. An undisputed divorce is a fixed £650 plus VAT for the applicant, plus the court fee, or £350 plus VAT for the respondent, and any further work is charged at our hourly rates once we have agreed it with you. The initial consultation is not free, and we confirm its cost when you book.
Lincoln family cases are heard at Lincoln County Court and Family Court on High Street (LN5 7PS), and we represent clients there.
We also assist clients in Sleaford, Newark-on-Trent, Horncastle, Louth and the villages of North Kesteven and West Lindsey. Our focus is on delivering plain, honest advice and keeping you informed at every stage.
With transport connections via the A46 and A15, and direct rail links to Nottingham and Sheffield, Commerce House on Carlton Boulevard, where meetings are available by appointment, is easy to reach whether you are travelling from central Lincoln, Sleaford, Newark or the surrounding countryside.

Family law matters in Lincoln are heard at Lincoln County Court and Family Court (360 High Street, Lincoln, LN5 7PS). This is the main hearing centre for Lincolnshire family proceedings, dealing with divorce, financial remedy, children matters, non-molestation and occupation orders, and other family applications. We regularly attend Lincoln Family Court on behalf of clients.
We serve Lincoln and the surrounding Lincolnshire areas including Sleaford, Horncastle, Wragby, Saxilby, North Hykeham, Branston, Metheringham, Welton and villages across West Lindsey, North Kesteven and East Lindsey. We offer phone, video and in-person consultations to suit your
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 no-fault divorce, an uncontested divorce takes a minimum of 26 weeks (6 months) from application to final order. This is made up of a 20-week reflection period and a further 6 weeks before the final order. In general it takes on average 8 months. Financial settlements and children arrangements can run alongside and may extend the overall process.
No-fault divorce was introduced in England and Wales in April 2022. Either spouse, or both jointly, can now simply state that the marriage has broken down irretrievably. There is no requirement to prove adultery, unreasonable behaviour or a period of separation. The law applies in Lincoln as it does throughout England and Wales.
Yes. We help parents in Lincoln reach arrangements about where children live, time spent with each parent, schools, holidays and other day-to-day matters. Most cases resolve through negotiation or mediation. Where court is necessary, we apply to Lincoln Family Court for Child Arrangements Orders, Specific Issue Orders or Prohibited Steps Orders. Mediation (a MIAM) is normally required first.
Unmarried couples have far fewer automatic rights than married couples, as there is no “common law marriage” in English law regardless of how long you have lived together. We help unmarried couples in Lincoln with cohabitation agreements (before or during living together) and with the arrangements they need to make on separation.
A financial order (consent order) is a legally binding court order setting out how marital assets, pensions, property, savings and debts are divided on divorce. Without one, your former spouse can make a financial claim against you years later, even after the divorce is finalised. We strongly recommend every Lincoln divorcing couple obtains a financial order.
Yes. Pre-nuptial agreements (signed before marriage) and post-nuptial agreements (signed during marriage) are not strictly binding in England and Wales but courts give them significant weight where properly drafted, both parties have taken legal advice, and full financial disclosure has been made. They are particularly important where there are existing assets, business interests, or children from previous relationships.
Yes. We provide urgent legal protection including non-molestation orders (preventing harassment, threats, violence) and occupation orders (regulating who can live in the family home). Emergency applications can be made without notice where there is immediate risk. Lincolnshire’s local domestic abuse support is provided by EDAN Lincs Domestic Abuse Service, which provides refuge and outreach support.
Yes. We write wills for Lincoln clients ranging from straightforward estates to more complex situations. We also prepare Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) for property and financial affairs and for health and welfare, and handle probate (administering estates after death). Home visits are available across Lincoln and Lincolnshire where mobility or illness makes office visits difficult.
The Court of Protection makes decisions for adults who lack mental capacity (often due to dementia, brain injury or learning disability). We apply for Deputyship orders, statutory wills, gifts and asset management for protected parties under the Mental Capacity Act 2005. This is work we handle regularly for Lincoln families.
Yes. Most family law matters now run largely or entirely remotely. Initial consultations, document review and most negotiation take place by phone, video call and email. Court hearings, where required, may be in person at Lincoln Family Court or remotely by video link. We attend on your behalf and prepare you thoroughly for any hearing you need to join.
