What does a divorce solicitor cost in Scotland?

Solicitors in Scotland set their own fees, so ask each firm for a written estimate. A straightforward divorce with no children under 16 and no money to divide can use the simplified procedure, which costs £156 in the sheriff court from 1 April 2026 and doesn't need a solicitor. An ordinary divorce costs £191 to start. Our guide to divorce in Scotland explains both.

The Scottish Legal Aid Board can tell you whether you could get help with a solicitor's fees.

Which court deals with a divorce in Edinburgh and the Lothians?

Most divorces in Scotland go through the local sheriff court, and one of you must have lived in that court's area for at least 40 days. The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service lists every sheriff court and its contact details.

How to choose a divorce solicitor

  • Check the firm on the Law Society of Scotland register.
  • Look for an accredited family law specialist, a solicitor the Law Society of Scotland has accredited in family law.
  • Ask for a written estimate before you agree to anything.
  • Bring a list of your income, savings, debts and pensions to the first meeting.
