Admin is only for simple cases

If there are no major risks, managed admin can make the application easier without legal advice.

Finances need the right route

If finances exist, divorce-only is usually not the full answer. The agreement may need proper legal paperwork.

Mediation can help, but only if safe

Online mediation can help with agreement, but both people need to be able to participate safely.

How to choose

Choose the service by the problem you need to solve.

The most common mistake is choosing a cheap admin option when the real issue is financial settlement, children, safety or legal advice.

Simple admin

Use managed admin only when the case is genuinely simple.

Managed admin is for people who understand the route and mainly want help making the application easier. It can be useful where communication is safe, the country route is clear and there is no legal dispute.

✓Best where there are no unresolved finances, child disputes or safety concerns.

✓Useful for simple England and Wales applications or eligible Scottish simplified divorce.

✓Not suitable if you need legal advice or financial settlement advice.

Legal drafting

Use fixed-fee solicitor support when paperwork has legal consequences.

Fixed-fee solicitor support is for cases where a solicitor needs to draft, advise or handle a specific legal document or process. This includes financial orders in England and Wales, Minutes of Agreement in Scotland and solicitor-led NI support.

✓Best where finances are agreed but need to be made legally clear.

✓Useful for property, pensions, debts, maintenance or future claim protection.

✓Fixed-fee works best when the scope is clear and the case is not heavily disputed.

Agreement first

Use online mediation when agreement has not been reached yet.

Online divorce mediation helps people work towards agreement before solicitor drafting or court paperwork. It can be useful for finances, children, property, communication and practical arrangements.

✓Best when agreement is possible but not yet reached.

✓Useful before a financial order, Minute of Agreement or solicitor drafting route.

✓Not suitable where communication is unsafe or one person cannot participate freely.

Pause first

Do not use a simple admin service for a complex case.

Some cases need advice before any service is chosen. This includes safety concerns, coercive control, missing spouse, non-response, disputed children, disputed finances, pressure to sign or uncertainty about the country route.

!Get solicitor support if property, pensions or children are disputed.

!Get advice if your spouse refuses to respond or you do not know where they are.

!Do not rely on managed admin where you need legal advice.
