Amazing experience
After placing an enquiry, I received a call 20 minutes later, and then 2 hours later, I had a solicitor assigned to me. They were absolutely incredible right from the word go - amazing and very prompt with replies, answering all my questions and keeping the process moving. We finally completed today and I am so unbelievably happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lawhive again in the future if needed.
Lily
First class service
I initially made an online enquiry about a tricky conveyancing matter and received an immediate call back. They understood straight away what was needed and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. It was such a pleasure to find someone who was cheerful, professional and completely reassuring as I’d been getting quite anxious about the sale of my house. The service Lawhive has provided is absolutely first class and I cannot recommend them enough.

We used Lawhive for our conveyancing needs and our solicitor was very helpful, patient and informative. She helped us with our needs with prompt responses and provided a very efficient service.
Kelvin
Great service when you need clarity and calm
Our solicitor was warm, friendly and provided crystal clear communication. A lot of conveyancers assume customers know everything about the process already, so it was really appreciated to hear each stage included in the price given.

01 overview
Going through a divorce can be one of life’s most challenging experiences. Our experienced same sex divorce lawyers are here to provide clarity, guidance, and support for whatever you're going through. Here's how we can help:
| Assessing your case | Our solicitors review your case to identify key factors, such as property ownership, financial agreements, and parental responsibilities. With this in mind, they’ll advise you on your rights and the best course of action. |
| Filing divorce petitions | We’ll help you prepare and file the necessary paperwork to initiate your divorce. From detailing breakdowns to managing jurisdictional requirements, our lawyers ensure your application is accurate and complete. |
| Financial settlements | Dividing assets can be one of the most contentious parts of a divorce. Our solicitors can provide expert advice on financial settlements, ensuring a fair distribution of property, pensions, and savings. They’ll advocate for your financial stability throughout the process. |
| Child arrangements | For same sex couples with children, establishing custody and visitation rights is a top priority. We’ll help you navigate child arrangement agreements, including shared parenting plans. |
| Mediation and negotiation | Our same sex divorce lawyers can support you in finding mediation and negotiation services, reducing stress and aiming for a resolution that works for everyone involved. |
We understand the unique challenges that same sex couples can face during divorce. Here’s why we’re a trusted choice:
The cost for a same sex divorce lawyer varies depending on the complexity of your case. At Lawhive, an uncontested no fault divorce can be as little as £439 for the petitioner (not including court fees), and £249 for the respondent. You’ll receive a fixed-fee quote tailored to your needs, ensuring transparency and no hidden charges.
In addition to solicitor fees, other costs may arise during a same-sex divorce. These can include:
Your licensed solicitor can guide you through the full divorce process. Here’s a quick snapshot of what you can expect during a same sex divorce case:
Your solicitor will start by understanding your situation, explaining your rights, and outlining the steps ahead. This consultation sets the foundation for a clear and effective legal strategy.
You'll need to decide whether to file a sole or joint application for divorce. After this, your solicitor will help draft your application and submit it to the court with a copy of your marriage certificate.
Once your application has been filed and accepted, the court issues an 'Acknowledgment of Service' notice to the other party. Once received, the other party must acknowledge the application within 14 days. If they want to object, they must fill out an “Answer Form” citing reasons they disagree with the divorce.
A conditional order is a document confirming that there is no reason why a couple should not be allowed to divorce. This requires a minimum of a 20-week wait period after your initial application. During this time, you may begin your Financial Consent Order where applicable.
A final order is the legal confirmation that a marriage has been divorced. You can apply for this six weeks after your conditional order has been issued. This may take a couple of days to be approved. However, once issued, you can rest assured that the marriage has ended.
Same sex divorce cases can involve a range of legal complexities, depending on the nature of the relationship and family arrangements. Here are the key services we offer:
While not mandatory, a solicitor ensures your divorce is handled professionally and fairly. They’ll protect your rights, manage complex issues, and reduce stress during an emotionally charged time.
The timeline depends on factors like the complexity of financial and custody arrangements. On average, straightforward divorces take 6-12 months to complete.
The legal process for same-sex divorce is largely the same, but unique factors - such as parental responsibility or civil partnership dissolution - may require specialised expertise.
Dissolving a civil partnership is a legal process similar to divorce. You’ll need to apply to the court and show that the partnership has irretrievably broken down, often citing reasons like separation or unreasonable behaviour. If the court agrees, they’ll issue a conditional order, followed by a final order to formally end the partnership.
If you’re facing a same sex divorce, Lawhive is here to provide expert guidance and compassionate support. Our experienced same sex divorce solicitors make the process simple, clear and stress-free. Contact us today for a free quote and take the first step toward a fair resolution.
