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 Wiltshire:
Children cases between parents took a median of 30.5 weeks in the Swindon area in April to June 2026, against 24.7 weeks across England and Wales.
| Area | Median | Within 26 weeks | Cases finished |
