    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long do undefended divorces take in Falkirk?

    Most simplified divorces complete in around 6–8 weeks from lodging, subject to court workload. Undefended ordinary actions often resolve within 10–12 weeks once paperwork is in order.

    Do I need to attend court?

    Simplified divorces are paper-based. Attendance may be required in ordinary actions if there are disputes about children or finances.

    How do you keep costs proportionate?

    We use 3-minute billing units, set an agreed scope, and report monthly with itemised time entries.

    Do you offer legal aid?

    We will assess eligibility on request and guide you through the application if appropriate.
