Divorce Solicitors in Ipswich

Leading legal guidance from expert divorce solicitors in Ipswich

This difficult period requires a helpful, understanding and experienced team to guide you through the emotional and legal challenges that separation can bring.

As the leading divorce solicitors in Ipswich, our aim is to help our clients manage the divorce process with a human, empathetic approach. This means minimal legal jargon, with a complete focus on reaching the best outcome for you and your family.

What is the process of working with a divorce solicitor in Ipswich?

It can feel like there are a lot of moving parts involved in a divorce, and there will be lots of requirements and paperwork that you may not be familiar with.

Our divorce solicitors will work with you at every step of the process. Our approach to your case is set out in the following steps below.

1. Initial call

The first step is our free exploratory call, in which you’ll discuss the details of your specific case. We will then be able to suggest the right person in our family team to work with you moving forward.

2. Fixed fee meeting

After the initial call, we will arrange with you a fixed fee meeting at a time and date convenient to you for up to an hour. During the fixed fee meeting, one of our divorce solicitors in Ipswich will provide you with initial advice, tailored to you and would confirm this advice to you in a comprehensive follow up letter. The letter explains what we discussed in the initial meeting, setting out clearly what options are available, and assists you in being able to make informed decisions about the best way forward for your future.

The meeting can be virtual (telephone or video) or in-person at our Ipswich office. Our central Ipswich office is located in the Connexions building on Princes Street, which is a short walk from Ipswich train station. It is also a 2-minute walk from the NCP Ipswich Portman Road car park, for ease of access.

3. Next Steps

We will discuss and advise you on the different options open to you for the resolution of your case. Court proceedings should really be the last resort in the majority of cases and your divorce solicitor in Ipswich can discuss with you the ways to resolve matters amicably, sensibly and cost effectively. For example, we offer Collaborative Law and also have two trained Resolution Together lawyers who follow the “One Couple – One Lawyer” approach. Mediation is always encouraged and discussed in suitable cases.
