About Intelligent Divorce

We are dedicated to helping you reduce the legal costs of sorting out your finances on divorce.

Our unique, online, co-operative process gets you specialist legal opinion on how to divide your home, savings, pensions, shares and other assets - and all without the costs of using traditional solicitors.

What makes us different?

• You get a balanced legal opinion from an experienced family barrister. Armed with that advice you and your partner can agree a sensible split, along the lines a judge would decide, without the anguish and costs of going to court.
• Your agreement is backed by a thorough check of what you both own which means that the barrister can provide well-informed legal opinion. 
• The whole process can be managed online so you can come to an agreement even if you do not want to speak to your partner
• You manage the process. Instead of fretting about what your solicitor is doing you can get on with doing it yourself.

The costs for two of you (the co-operative route), including the barrister's opinion, consent order and management of your divorce paperwork - is only £1630 inc VAT.

If you use Intelligent Divorce on your own (the solo route) the cost is only £780 inc VAT.
