The Family Law Team at Howes Percival LLP are now offering their clients a fixed fee arrangement in undefended divorce cases.* Following an assessment meeting, the team will charge a set fee of £500 plus VAT, with court fees paid in addition. The current total cost of the package will be less than £1,000. The Team have stressed that there will be no compromise on quality and clients can expect a high level of client care coupled with certainty as to the level of their legal costs. The scheme will be supervised by senior Legal Executive, Sandra Stephens.

Jane Cowley, Partner and Head of the Family Law and Private Client Team said: "This package is being offered as part of a menu of financial arrangements which allow our clients to take control of their personal lives which is particularly important in today's challenging economic times."

Sadly children often believe they are responsible for the break up and that it is their fault that the family is splitting up. Children need to be informed by both parents that this and that it is normal to feel angry or sad. Reassure them they will be kept informed regarding what is happening, and that they can talk and ask questions and they will be listened to, and that, as parents, you understand how they feel and love them. Teach your children there are positive ways to deal with conflict by example, and never denigrate one another before your children.
