    Divorce - what is the cost?

    Hi there, wonder if anyone can help me. I've been separated for almost two years now and have obviously been wondering for some time how to go about a divorce. I've seen the packs sold at the local stationery store but it doesn't tell you about fees for the actual divorce. I don't need a solicitor as we are both agreed that it's not necessary, we have no house to split, no joint debts and no children. Can anyone advise how much the court fees are likely to be and whether they are different after two years of separation? this might seem a silly question but I was told they may be reduced after this period of time. Never having done this before I'm quite naive about the whole process :-/

    many thanks in advance x

    You are quite right to say that the fees are less if you deal direct with a court rather than using a solicitor. Court details, fees, advice, etc is here:

    If you look at the fees schedule, you will se that it's quite complicated and the total depends in how complicated things are.
