Divorce Magpie is a free guide to what a divorce really costs in England and Wales, published by Family Legal Ltd. It launched in August 2026. Divorce Magpie breaks down every part of the cost, from the court fee to solicitor hourly rates, and is direct about which parts are worth paying for and which are not.
The starting point is that most people spend more than they need to, usually because they buy a full solicitor service when they needed one piece of it. Divorce Magpie explains where the real money goes, where it is safe to spend nothing, and the one thing almost everyone should pay for, which is a financial order. It also carries a free cost estimator that stores nothing.
Divorce Magpie sells no legal service and takes no payment for recommendations. Family Legal Ltd publishes it because cost is the single biggest reason people avoid getting advice at all, and the honest version of that conversation was missing.
