Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some common questions we receive from clients in Uxbridge and the surrounding areas.

How long does a divorce take in the UK?

In a straightforward, undisputed case, a divorce can often be finalised within 6–12 months, depending on court timelines and how quickly both parties cooperate. More complex financial or children issues can extend this.

What happens to the family home in a divorce?

The family home is treated as part of the overall financial settlement. The court looks at many factors, including needs, contributions, welfare of children, and other assets. Options can include transferring ownership, selling and dividing proceeds, or one party “buying out” the other.

Do I have to go to court for child arrangements?

No. Many child arrangements are agreed through discussion, mediation or solicitor‑led negotiations. Court is usually a last resort when agreement cannot be reached or there are safety concerns.

Can you help with urgent domestic abuse matters?

Yes. We regularly handle urgent applications for non‑molestation and occupation orders. If you are in immediate danger, call 999. Otherwise, contact us as soon as possible so we can advise on emergency protection and next steps.

How much does a family law solicitor cost in Uxbridge?

Costs vary depending on the complexity and whether the matter is contested. Our family team charges can be seen in fees section. We can give a more precise estimate after an initial consultation.
