What does a divorce solicitor cost in Lincolnshire?

The courts publish guideline hourly rates, which judges use when deciding what legal costs are reasonable. They're a fair guide to what firms charge locally. All of Lincolnshire, including Grimsby, is in National band 2.

Who does the workNational 2
Solicitors and legal executives with over 8 years' experience£288
Solicitors and legal executives with over 4 years' experience£247
Other solicitors and legal executives£200
Trainee solicitors and paralegals£142

Hourly rates, excluding VAT. Source: Solicitors' guideline hourly rates, GOV.UK, in effect from 1 January 2026.

Many firms offer a fixed fee for an undefended divorce or for drafting a consent order, so ask for a written quote before you start. The court fee for a divorce is the same everywhere. Our guide to how much a divorce costs sets out the total by route, and the divorce cost calculator gives a rough estimate for your situation.

Legal aid for family cases is limited and means-tested: it's mainly available where there's evidence of domestic abuse or a risk to a child, and for mediation. Check on GOV.UK whether you could get it.

How to choose a divorce solicitor

  • Check the firm on the SRA register. Its number is on its divorcd profile.
  • Look for Resolution members. Resolution is the association of family lawyers who commit to settling disputes without unnecessary conflict, and its accredited specialists have passed an assessment in family law.
  • Ask for a fixed fee or a written estimate before you agree to anything.
  • Bring a list of your income, savings, debts and pensions to the first meeting, and your questions written down.
