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.
New divorce applications are dealt with centrally online, so most people only come to a local court for a hearing about children or money. These are the family courts in the West Midlands:
Children cases between parents took a median of 18.3 weeks in the Wolverhampton area in April to June 2026, against 24.7 weeks across England and Wales.
| Area | Median | Within 26 weeks | Cases finished |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wolverhampton area | 18.3 weeks | 64% | 511 |
| Birmingham area | 19.1 weeks | 62% | 348 |
| Coventry area | 15.7 weeks | 65% | 214 |
| England and Wales | 24.7 weeks | 52% | 12,005 |
