Top Divorce Lawyers at JC Solicitors
The decision to separate from your partner or to end a marriage is not an easy one, especially where there are children and financial responsibilities involved. At JC Solicitors, we aim to reduce the emotional effects of divorce and separation and the impact this has on you and your family. Our highly qualified divorce lawyers recognise that when people seek help with divorce, they need a family lawyer who is understanding and thoughtful, and provides a safe space to discuss matters in a sympathetic yet positive way.
Since the introduction of the “no fault divorce” in April 2022, there is no need to place the blame on each other or provide a reason for the divorce, other than the marriage has broken down. This allows couples to remain amicable and to move forward with your separation in a positive manner.
Difficulties can arise when resolving any related practical issues, such as division of financial assets and arrangements regarding children. We understand that it can be difficult to know how to deal with these aspects of a relationship breakdown. It is our aim to limit both the emotional turmoil and the legal costs by encouraging separating couples to reach agreement on the practical issues wherever possible. This can be done through a range of out of court options, including mediation and collaborative law.

Divorce Law FAQs
Can you get a divorce without a lawyer?
Technically yes — you can apply for a divorce online yourself. However, obtaining professional legal advice ensures that your rights are protected, your financial settlement is fair, and your agreement is legally binding. Without legal representation, you risk missing key details or facing issues later in the family court.
How to find a good divorce lawyer?
Look for a solicitor who specialises in family law and has a proven track record in divorce cases similar to yours. JC Solicitors’ offices in Portsmouth, Chichester, and Alton offer free initial consultations so you can meet your divorce lawyer and decide if they’re the right fit for you.
How much will my divorce cost?
If you would like to discuss the possibility of a divorce, please do not hesitate to contact us. We offer a free initial consultation with no obligation, during which we will get to know you whilst familiarising ourselves with your case. We will be able to signpost, discuss the services we can provide for you and discuss fees so that you have a clear understanding of what your costs will likely to be from the outset.
Please note, our free initial appointment is a consultation service where we signpost our services for you. If advice is required, this will be chargeable at the rates discussed in your initial consultation.
