In property related transactions we require two forms of ID. Individuals must provide a photographic form of ID and up to date proof of address. If a company or other organisation is instructing us, we will require a photographic form of ID and up to date proof of address for the Directors/Members of the company and also any persons who have significant control of that company. We will verify the ID provided to us via a secure third-party platform. Examples of suitable ID include: a passport, drivers’ licence, bank statement, utility bill or council tax bill.

Mary is also very alive to the fact you will be worried about how much your divorce and financial matter will cost you and she will discuss costs with you at every interview and will provide costs estimates throughout your case. Our accounts team will provide you with a detailed invoice each month Mary’s fees are £300 plus vat per hour and she is assisted by Chloe Santoni, and also a Sean Aldridge a Specialist in Trust and Estate Planning who is charged at £250 per hour plus vat. Mary and Chloe are assisted by very experienced Legal Secretary, Alexandra Tavoni.

Mary will discuss with you whether you are required to pay spousal maintenance and if so at what rate and for how long or whether a clean break can be achieved in relation to both capital, income, property and pensions.

If you and your spouse have agreed all of your financial matters by consent then the costs are considerably reduced and once you have exchanged financial information, a draft consent order is prepared and approved and signed by both parties and their solicitors and it is then submitted to the Court for the Judge to approve accompanied by a D81 Form and the court fee.
