If you are considering divorce but aren't sure about the divorce process or costs, book an hour's fixed fee interview. This will enable you to discuss your situation and get an idea of what the costs are likely to be and how long the divorce process is likely to take. You can then decide after this meeting whether you wish to proceed further. Book your first half hour appointment by calling 0208 464 4242 or email familylaw@wellerslwgroup.com.
