Leighton Buzzard Divorce Solicitors: Helping you through your Divorce
If you are looking to dissolve your marriage, the prospect of divorce can be a daunting one. Concerns about potential inflated costs of a divorce, protracted legal proceedings, and determining who is entitled to what in your relationship can be a worrying combination. Our knowledgeable and highly experienced divorce solicitors in Leighton Buzzard will simplify the legal process and help you negotiate a fair divorce.
Our divorce solicitors have considerable experience in handling all aspects of the divorce process – everything from preparing the appropriate documentation, with ongoing consultation, through to representing you should there be a need for a hearing. We can take the sting out of the divorce procedure, making it as easy and pain-free as possible.
Helping you through the Separation process
Separation is the process where the parties no longer wish to live together but have not agreed that the marriage is over. In such circumstances, it can be difficult to know how to manage the situation properly. Our solicitors have the benefit of their considerable knowledge and experience to guide you through the entire process.
If you are parting ways amicably, we can help you with making sure you have the assistance you need in all aspects of the relationship being dissolved. This may be anything from helping you to divide joint possessions, handle the transfer of ownership from one party to another, or even pointing you in the direction of further counselling to help begin the next chapter of your life.
If the relationship is not ending on such amicable terms, we can also mediate those necessary discussions to enable you to productively discuss the essential things you need to when going through a separation.

What to expect at your Initial Consultation
The initial consultation with one of our Leighton Buzzard divorce solicitors can take place in person at our local office by telephone or via video conferencing software – whichever you prefer.
Our aim is to make you feel as comfortable as possible in the knowledge that you are receiving the best possible advice in relation to your divorce or separation. The purpose of the meeting is to help you understand the practical and legal implications of your situation and to explore the options available to you which will help you to make an informed decision.
You should rest assured that our divorce solicitors are friendly and approachable and their aim in the meeting is to make you feel as comfortable as possible, whilst also giving you the best legal advice in a manner which is clear and easy to understand.
It is often the case that answers to questions that may appear obvious on the face of it are not straightforward, so you should never be worried about asking what seem to be “obvious” questions. We want you to leave the meeting feeling confident that we can help you and assured that we will have your best interests at the forefront.
Concerns about costs are often at the forefront of people’s minds when seeking legal advice. The initial consultation with you allows us to discuss your situation in detail. Once we understand your circumstances better, we can provide you with:
- A clear understanding of how we can help you and;
- An estimate of our fees and a choice of funding methods should you choose to instruct us.
Preparing for the Initial Consultation with our Leighton Buzzard Divorce Solicitors
When you book your initial consultation, your details and your circumstances will be passed onto Kirsty Bowers, a specialist divorce solicitor in our Leighton Buzzard office. Visiting Kirsty’s profile page on our website will help you put a face to a name and picture who you will be meeting to make you feel at ease before the initial consultation.
It will make it easier for Kirsty to advise you if you can provide as much detail as possible in relation to your circumstances. You will be asked about key information such as names, dates of birth and addresses.
The information requested is likely to include the date you and your ex-partner started living together, the date of the marriage, the date of separation, the date contact broke down and so on. It would be helpful if you write down these key dates and events and bring them to the initial consultation. Do not worry if you do not have the exact dates as approximate dates will suffice to begin with and we can determine more precise dates, should we need to, at a later date.
If you require assistance with your financial circumstances following the breakdown of your relationship or marriage, we will ask you for details of all income, assets and liabilities so it might help you to write a list of these and bring this with you.
If you are seeking help or advice in relation to arrangements for children, we may require a timeline of events so it would be useful to note down any key dates such as details of the existing arrangements, when they started and when things started to go wrong.
Most importantly, we suggest that you write down a list of questions that you have for the solicitor you will be meeting. It is perfectly normal for you to forget about questions you wanted to ask and not remember them until you get home. If you write them down, this will ensure that you have asked everything you want to before leaving the initial consultation.
After the Initial Divorce Consultation
Following the initial consultation with one of our Leighton Buzzard divorce solicitors, you will receive a detailed email summarising the issues discussed and the advice provided to you.
The meeting is strictly confidential, and we will not contact your ex-partner. If you decide to instruct us to represent you, we will usually write to your ex-partner to confirm we are instructed but would not do so without first receiving your consent. You will be in control and will know when the letter has been sent.
We will not put any pressure on you to proceed during or after the meeting, however, we will advise you if any urgent action is required. It is completely your choice whether you wish to instruct us immediately or go home and have a think about what we have discussed and the options available to you. Our friendly and approachable Leighton Buzzard divorce solicitors will be here for you if and when you are ready to proceed.
