What we need from you
- marriage records
- title documents
- payments and loans
- answer focused follow-up questions and verify the factual information
- do not send a full set of sensitive documents before the conflict-of-interest check and agreement of a protected channel
Fees
- Fees depend on the facts and scope of support. After a short discussion, we explain what the work includes and its cost. Fees are agreed before work begins.
- A possible first stage is a written action plan: review of agreed documents, legal assessment, next steps, deadlines, risks and alternatives.
- Additional objectives, extensive materials and foreign-language documents are discussed separately.
- Court fees and other mandatory payments are separate from the lawyer's fee. Notarial, translation, valuation and expert costs are also agreed separately.
What may change the route
- objections or new claims from another party
- missing, inconsistent or newly received documents
- the need for valuation, expert evidence, a notarial or registration step
- existing court or enforcement proceedings, a missed or imminent deadline
- notarial steps are separate
When this service is not suitable
- business assets, foreign property and third-party rights require an expanded scope
How we report progress
- we agree the communication channel before work begins
- we report receipt of materials, completion of the assessment, document readiness and the next required action
- where new facts or extra work arise, we first explain the effect on timing and fees and ask for your approval
