Aberdeen: People in marital discord can find relief without paying a heavy fee for legal settlements, thanks to low cost services offered by DJP Solicitors, one of the most trusted Aberdeen law firms.

After the amendment of Scottish law in 2006, the divorce process does not involve high costs and the issues of bitter conflicts. Any person who wants to get separated from his/her partner can obtain a formal divorce without even going to the court. They simply need to visit DJP Solicitors once or twice to get the necessary paperwork ready.

Steven Ritchie is the family law specialist at DJP Solicitors and as an experienced lawyer in Aberdeen he has helped most of his clients get divorce within two to three months. While the package for applicants with children less than 16 years old costs £200 (exclusive of VAT and court outlays), the applicants with children aged less than 16 years can get a package of £700 (exclusive of VAT and court outlays).

There are certain conditions that need to be fulfilled for a smooth divorce process and clients are therefore advised to stay in touch with their lawyers and abide by their guidance to avoid unnecessary visits to the court. Most importantly, the applicant and his/her wife should not have lived together for over 2 years and if at all they tried to get back together, it should have not lasted for more than 3 months.

Custody of minor children often becomes a ground for bitter differences between couples to be divorced but DJP Solicitors has also had a high success rate in matters that involve children.

This is what Serena Flowers (name changed upon request), says about her experience with the team, “I approached DJP Solicitors for my divorce and was surprised to see a fee of only £700 applicable in my case. There was a nominal tax and court fee to be paid with this but I did not mind paying the amount. That’s because it was still reasonable and by paying this fee I could not just get a smooth divorce but also the custody of my 4 year old child. I recommend DJP Solicitors to anyone who needs to get family matters resolved without visiting the court often. I know that they are also good as employment lawyers in Aberdeen.”
