Divorce solicitor recommendation

[PArbor1]

Hi,
I’m looking for recommendations for a good divorce solicitor in the Liverpool/Manchester area please.

Thank you !

Not quite Liverpool / Manchester but not too far adrift either. Lucy Phipps at Weightmans in Leeds.

Lucy did mine and was very impressive. Highly recommended.

I don’t think that geography plays a big part with Teams and Mobiles available to everyone.

Jo Houston is much closer to Manchester / Liverpool than Winchester, but she does travel, when required.

Works more at the high nett worth / family court pleadings end of the market, rather than straightforward agreed settlements.

Is it amicable?

You can do the divorce petition part yourself on the government website.

The financial part is a bit trickier, can be done yourself apparently too.
I’m currently in the process but we are amicable and have already discussed finances and the kids, looking at using a single solicitor just to draft up the documents, someone like amicable.co.uk.

We got prices from local solicitors, scary how much they charge!

I don’t have specific recommendations, but the most expensive and well reviewed one you can find. You’ll save in the end.

I'd avoid using one if you can reach an amicable agreement.

Mrs and I parted ways in 2011 but are still on friendly terms, but she decided she wanted a divorce recently and lodged an application for just over £600!

Unless there are big numbers at stake the people who will get the best outcome will be the solicitors.

Ignoring the geographical requirement (because the world these days is much smaller!), can highly recommend https://tvedwards.com/services/family-law-solicito... who handled mine for a very reasonable cost.
