Mary Lowe at Vincents Solicitors is our High Net Worth Divorce specialist team based in Lytham.
How much will my divorce cost me?
Mary is 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 cost estimates throughout your case. Our accounts team will provide you with a detailed invoice each month.
Mary’s fees are £350 plus VAT per hour. Alongside experienced Legal Secretary, Alexandra Tavoni, Mary also has a Specialist in Trust and Estate Planning in her team, who is charged at £250 per hour plus VAT.
How long does it take to get divorced?
The new No Fault Divorce Procedure takes 20 weeks from the date you issue your petition on the court portal to the granting of a Conditional Order (replacing the old-style Decree Nisi). Thereafter, you can apply for a Final Order no less than six weeks after and the Court can then make a Final Order (replacing the old-style Decree Absolute).
Can we settle matters by consent?
If you and your spouse have agreed all of your financial matters by consent, the costs are considerably reduced. Once you have exchanged financial information, a draft consent order is prepared, approved and signed by both parties and their solicitors. It is then submitted to the Court for the Judge to approve, accompanied by a D81 Form and the court fee.
How do I achieve a clean break?
Mary will discuss with you whether you are required to pay spousal maintenance and, if so, at what rate and for how long. She will also advise on whether a clean break can be achieved in relation to both capital and income.

Good morning,
I just wanted to send an appreciation email! People are often quick to complain but not as quick to give appraisal.
This is the second time that I have used Vincent’s solicitors and I have yet again been very happy with the service received. Any queries I had were always answered efficiently & I never felt that I asked too many questions (or that they were silly to ask!). Nothing was too much trouble. Joe, also a great point of contact with again great communication and always very helpful.
Thank you so much for making this a stress free process, and I will continue to recommend Vincent’s Solicitors & the team there.
Happy Monday & have a great week!
Kind regards,
Jessica

A belated thank you from me for all your support , patience and hard work on getting the purchase over the line.
As ever, a first rate service from you all – you are by far the best conveyancing team I have ever experienced and as this was property transaction no 18 for me that gives you some context !
Kind regards

Following completion on my property sale I just wanted to show my appreciation for Vincents conveyancing services and in particular the support provided by Kerry Rankine.
Kerry was efficient, responsive and proactive throughout the transaction, her efforts made what could have been a stressful process straightforward and stress free, please pass on my personal thanks.
Now that this property has been sold we need to sort out our Wills & LPAs and I would appreciate an introduction to a suitable contact within Vincents, our preference would be to visit the Garstang office.
Regards
Adrian

Good morning Tracy,
I would like to say a massive thank you to you for all your support and communication throughout the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact you again if I ever need any further assistance and certainly would recommend the firm.
I chose Vincents Solicitors because of the locality and the nice things that you do for the community and charity.
Again thank you so much.
Yours Sincerely

I’m writing to thank you and your entire law firm for all of your hard work throughout my case.
Throughout the time we worked together, everyone at your law firm was kind, patient, and supportive. My hectic university schedule made it difficult for me to respond quickly, so your team was sure to email me every time there was a new development.
I cannot thank you enough for the amazing treatment you gave me. I hope that our paths should never have to cross again (no more broken bones for me!), but if they do, I’m confident your hard work and determination will make my case a breeze.

I turned to Vincent’s with a challenging situation that needed very careful handling. Michael and Drew were respectful, understanding and supportive. This made them easy to liaise with and I always felt they had my back. Good at listening to what I wanted, we worked together in finding the best way to draw the matter to a close. This eased my stress and worry. I now highly recommend their services to anyone who needs legal advice and help. Thank you both.
