Worried About the Cost of Getting Divorced?
Going through a divorce can be stressful enough without worrying about a legal bill running into thousands of pounds.
Many people assume that getting divorced means handing everything over to a solicitor.
Getting a Divorce is easier than you think, you can do it all yourself for little or no cost. This video will show you how.
There are a growing number of people who are choosing to take control of their own divorce and deal with much of the process themselves.
The problem is knowing:
• What you actually need to do
• Which forms you need
• What happens at each stage
• What you need to be careful about
• What you can deal with yourself
• When you really do need professional help
That's exactly what this free course is designed to show you.
Your Divorce Doesn't Have to Cost Thousands
This course is designed for people who want to reduce the cost of their divorce by understanding the process and doing as much as they reasonably can themselves.
You don't need to be a lawyer.
You don't need to understand legal jargon.
You simply need to understand what needs to be done and when.

That will save you hundreds or even thousands of pounds.
A Typical Solicitor will charge you £900-£1200 plus the Court Fee

A 'Standard Divorce' is when you both agree and neither of you is intent on causing problems.

Why Preparation Matters
Court Preparation Can Make a Significant Difference

Understanding the process, preparing documentation carefully, and communicating effectively can help participants present themselves more clearly and confidently.
This Event aims to provide practical educational support so participants can approach proceedings with greater structure, understanding, and preparedness.
Who Is This Course For?
This course could be particularly useful if:
You have decided to get divorced
and don't know where to begin.
You have already started the divorce process
but are confused about what happens next.
You want to keep your legal costs down
and are prepared to do some of the work yourself.
You are on a limited budget
and want to understand the process before paying for professional help.
You are considering using a solicitor
but want to understand the process first.
You are helping a friend or family member
who is going through a divorce.
What Makes This Different?
There is plenty of information about divorce online.
The problem is that it is often:
complicated
conflicting
full of legal jargon
difficult to know which information you can trust
This course brings the information together into a simple, step-by-step programme designed for ordinary people dealing with a very difficult time in their lives.
You won't be expected to become a lawyer.
The aim is simply to help you understand the process well enough to make sensible decisions.
Your Divorce Roadmap
Throughout the course, you'll build your own Divorce Roadmap so that you can see:
Where you are now
What you need to do next
What decisions you need to make
What documents you need
What issues you need to deal with
When professional advice may be necessary
Instead of feeling that everything is happening at once, you'll have a clear path through the process.
And Don't Forget the Finances
Getting divorced legally is only one part of ending a marriage.
Your financial settlement is a separate and extremely important issue.
Your divorce does not automatically resolve:
• The family home
• Savings
• Investments
• Pensions
• Business interests
• Debts
• Maintenance
• Other financial claims
That's why the course will also help you understand what you need to think about before your financial situation is finally settled.
What About Solicitor's Fees?
A solicitor can provide invaluable advice, particularly where a case is complicated or disputed.
But you don't necessarily need a solicitor to hold your hand through every single stage.
But you don't necessarily need a solicitor to hold your hand through every single stage.
By understanding the process yourself, you may be able to use professional advice more selectively.
For example:
Instead of paying a solicitor to complete everything...
you might use professional advice to answer the difficult questions and deal with the more complicated parts.
The result?
You remain in control.
And you will save a significant amount of money.
