Our one couple, one lawyer expertise

Our team at Clarke & Son are experienced in guiding couples through the one couple one lawyer divorce process. We provide balanced advice, ensuring both parties understand their legal rights and options while working toward agreements that suit everyone involved.

Joint divorce applications

With the introduction of no-fault divorce in England and Wales, couples can now make joint applications. Our solicitors will guide you through this process, ensuring the paperwork is correct and that the divorce proceeds smoothly.

Mediation support services

While not the same as mediation, our approach is collaborative and constructive. We can complement mediation services by providing clear legal advice to both parties as they reach decisions together.

Mutual financial agreements

Sorting out finances is one of the most important parts of any divorce. Our one lawyer divorce service helps couples negotiate fair and practical arrangements for property, savings, pensions, and ongoing support. Agreements can then be formalised in a consent order, making them legally binding.

Collaborative law process

The one couple one lawyer model is rooted in collaboration. Our solicitors are trained to manage discussions in a way that reduces conflict and promotes shared solutions. This approach not only saves time and costs but also helps preserve positive family relationships moving forward.

Frequently asked questions about one couple, one lawyer

What is one couple, one lawyer?

It’s an alternative approach to divorce where separating couples use the same solicitor to receive legal advice and work toward mutually acceptable solutions.

Can one lawyer represent both parties in a divorce?

Yes, provided both parties agree to this approach and are committed to open and honest communication. If a conflict of interest arises, separate legal advice may still be required.

What are the benefits of a couple using one lawyer?

• Reduces costs compared to each party hiring separate solicitors

• Encourages cooperation and less conflict

• Speeds up the process of reaching agreements

• Provides clarity and reassurance from one trusted legal adviser

What are the cost implications of a couple using one lawyer versus two?

Using one solicitor is often significantly more cost-effective. Instead of paying for two legal teams, couples share the cost of one solicitor’s advice and time, making it a practical choice for many.

Is Resolution Together legally binding, and how is the final agreement formalised?

Yes. Once agreements have been reached, they can be drafted into a consent order and approved by the court, making them legally binding. This ensures certainty for both parties.
