If you reach an agreement
An informal agreement is not automatically legally binding. Current GOV.UK guidance says a consent order can be used to ask the Family Court to approve an agreed financial arrangement. The current court fee for a financial order by consent is £62.
When our straightforward service may not be enough
Some situations need independent specialist legal advice.
Serious financial disagreement
If the finances are contested or court proceedings are likely, independent legal advice may be appropriate.
Complex or unclear assets
Businesses, trusts, significant overseas assets or concerns about undisclosed assets can require specialist review.
Urgent or high-risk circumstances
If urgent proceedings, representation or another reserved legal activity is needed, we will explain that and recommend an appropriately authorised professional.
Current court fees
Useful figures to know.
Divorce application
£628 current HMCTS fee.
Financial order by consent
£62 current court fee.
Financial order not by consent
£321 current court fee.
Court fees are separate from Tony Legal Support's charges and can change. Help with fees may be available for eligible applicants.

Divorce & financial separation FAQs
If we agree our finances, is that enough?
Not necessarily. GOV.UK explains that a consent order is used to ask the court to approve an agreed financial arrangement so that it becomes legally binding.
Do I need to use a solicitor for every part of financial separation?
No. People can organise information and paperwork themselves and seek professional help where needed. Tony Legal Support can assist with practical organisation and paperwork within our permitted scope.
What information should I start gathering?
Bank and savings information, property and mortgages, pensions, investments, debts, income, regular expenditure and any relevant business interests are a useful starting point.
What if we cannot agree?
If agreement cannot be reached, a court can be asked to make a financial order. Contested financial remedy proceedings are more complex and independent specialist legal advice may be appropriate.
Can you represent me in the Family Court?
No. Tony Legal Support does not act as a solicitor or barrister and does not provide court representation or other reserved legal services.
