Until a few years ago the only way to get divorced was to use your local high street solicitor, and pay their £200+ hourly rate.

Wikivorce decided to change things for the better - we created Legal Access to
offer divorcing couples more choice, better customer service and great value prices. 

We scoured the market to find the best divorce services from leading law firms and online divorce providers.
We chose suppliers based on their expertise in family law, strong customer service, efficient operations and affordable pricing.

Options		Advantages			Disadvantages			Recommended Best Buys
Traditional high street solicitor at hourly rates			Legal advice provided			The most expensive option and costs are not fixed.		£800 to £1000*		Find a Resolution family solicitor
			Easy and convenient			Not all high street solicitors are experts in family law		If you decide to use a local law firm, we strongly recommend that, you choose a solicitor who is a member of Resolution, the family law organisation.
			Local
Solicitor managed service at a fixed price			Legal advice provided			All communication done by phone, email and letter, rather than face to face - which may not suit everyone		£249*		Solicitor Managed Divorce from TNFLP

Managed divorce from online providers			Good value for full service			Less personal than a local solicitor, all communication by phone, email, letter		£189*		Managed Divorce from Online Legal Services
			Fast service, online tracking					Online Legal Services are the UK's leading divorce service provider, with tens of thousands of satisfied customers. Their managed divorce is a comprehensive full service at a great price.
			Easy and convenient
DIY divorce from online providers			All the forms completed for you			Not a full service, you have to post the forms to court and keep track of things		£69*		Assisted DIY Divorce from Online Legal Services
			Very low cost					If you are prepared to do some of the leg work (such as posting forms to court) then the assisted DIY service from Online Legal Services represents excellent value.
*Whichever service you choose, whether from Wikivorce, your local solicitor, or even if you DIY, you have to pay additional court fees of £340, unless you qualify for an exemption due to being on a low income.
