Clear, Affordable Family Law Services When You Need Them Most
At AFG Law, we understand that legal costs are often a major concern. Many people are not eligible for legal aid but still find traditional legal fees difficult to manage. This is especially true when solicitors charge by the hourly rate, which can quickly become unpredictable.
For this reason, our experienced family law team is proud to offer fixed fee options for a range of family law services. Our aim is to provide clear, high-quality legal advice from a trusted family law solicitor, while giving you certainty over costs from the outset.
What is a Fixed Fee Family Law Service?
A fixed fee arrangement means that you agree a set price for specific legal work in advance. Instead of being billed based on the time your solicitor spends on your case, you know exactly what you will pay.
This approach is particularly helpful during divorce proceedings and disputes involving children, where financial uncertainty can add unnecessary stress.
At AFG Law, we assess each case individually. We may offer fixed fees based on the nature of your case and how complex the work is likely to be. This flexible approach allows us to support clients who are not eligible for legal aid but still need affordable legal support.
Who is This Service Designed For?
Our fixed fee service can be used by anyone..
You may benefit from this service if you:
- Are not eligible for legal aid
- Are concerned about high or unpredictable legal costs
- Want clarity from the start
- Need professional and reliable legal advice
- Prefer not to be charged on an hourly rate
We understand that every situation is different. That is why our fees may vary depending on your financial circumstances and the level of support you need.
Fixed Fee Divorce Services
If you are starting or responding to a divorce application, our fixed fee divorce services are designed to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible.
We can help you with:
- Preparing and submitting your divorce application
- Responding to divorce paperwork
- Explaining each stage of divorce proceedings
- Ensuring all documents are completed correctly
A fixed fee divorce gives you clarity from the outset, allowing you to focus on the next stage of your life without worrying about rising legal costs.

Financial Settlements and Consent Orders
Resolving financial matters is a key part of divorce or separation. Without a formal agreement, there is a risk that financial claims could be made in the future.
Our family law team can help you reach a fair settlement and prepare a consent order, which makes your financial agreement legally binding.
We can assist with:
- Advising on financial arrangements

Our r fixed fee services help bridge this gap. We tailor our pricing based on your situation with the aim to make professional family law services more accessible.
This approach allows you to benefit from the expertise of a qualified family law solicitor without the financial uncertainty that often comes with an hourly rate.
What is Included in a Fixed Fee?

Fixed Fees vs Hourly Rate

With a fixed fee:
- You know the cost in advance
- There are no unexpected charges for routine work
- You can budget more effectively
However, please note that not all cases are suitable for fixed fees. In more complex matters, , a different pricing structure may be required.
