Skip the high solicitor fees. Our McKenzie Friends guide you to move forward—whether you’re married, partnered, or cohabiting.
The divorce process can seem daunting, but our McKenzie Friends are here to help you every step of the way.
No-fault divorce is a new type of divorce that was introduced in the UK on April 6, 2022. It allows couples to get a divorce without having to blame each other for the breakdown of their marriage. To get a no-fault divorce, you simply need to apply to the court and state that your marriage has irretrievably broken down. There is no need to provide any evidence of fault or wrongdoing. No-fault divorce now has a 20-week waiting period to give couples time to reflect, reconsider, or plan for the future.
The best part is, couples can now apply for a no-fault divorce online, handling the process themselves and only paying the court fee, without needing to hire a lawyer.
At McKenzie Friend Service, we believe in a collaborative and client-centered approach to divorce.

The cost of divorce in the UK varies depending on factors like children, agreement, and court. Expect to pay £500-£2,000 in court fees alone.
A McKenzie Friend’s cost depends on how complicated your case is and their experience. However, they’re generally much cheaper than hiring a lawyer. While initial in-depth consultations with McKenzie Friends typically start around £100, we offer a free initial consultation for the first 30 minutes to discuss your case and determine how we can assist you further.
You do not need a solicitor to go to court for a divorce case. You can represent yourself in court, or ask us to help you. As a McKenzie Friend, we can provide support and assistance to you in court if you are not represented by a lawyer.
The time it takes to get a divorce in the UK varies depending on whether the divorce is contested or uncontested. Uncontested divorces can be finalised in as little as six weeks. Contested divorces can take several months or even years to finalise.
You can still get a divorce even if you can’t find your spouse. The court will need evidence that you’ve tried to locate them, but you won’t need to rely on the usual grounds like 2 years’ separation or adultery.
The most common disputes that arise during divorce proceedings are disputes over child custody, child support, and financial settlements.
Locations: 3 offices + in-person/remote support at major UK family courts.
We can also travel to your court for assistance wherever you are.
