How Ready Are You to Finalise Your Finances Amicaby?

I'm Susan Perry, an SRA regulated freelance solicitor, and I believe divorce can be handled with dignity and respect.
I work with separating couples who want to deal with the financial side of their divorce fairly and sensibly, without unnecessary conflict.
My role is not to take sides.
I guide both of you through a clear, structured process that keeps discussions constructive and helps you reach a financial agreement you can both feel comfortable with.
Many couples tell me they feel a sense of relief once we begin - because there is finally someone neutral keeping things steady.
By the time people reach this stage, things have often been difficult for a while.
Conversations may feel strained. Decisions harder. What once felt like a partnership may no longer feel that way.
What most couples want now is simple:
Handled in the right way, that is entirely possible.
Many couples assume they must each hire separate solicitors immediately.
But where both people are willing to be open and constructive, working with one shared solicitor can be simpler, faster and significantly more cost-effective.
Instead of taking opposing positions, the focus stays on:
I’m so grateful to you for all you have done for us. The outcome would have been very different without you.

Applying for a divorce is relatively straightforward and can usually be done online through the Government website.
Where couples often need support is agreeing how their finances should be divided fairly.
That’s where I come in.
I guide both of you through a clear, structured process to:
"Thank you so much for making this happen.
I'm very happy that we have finally got to an amicable agreement.
It's all quite overwhelming. I've just been taking in the finality of it all, over this weekend.
Again, thank you for your efforts and your patience. You got it done! "
- Jeff
By the time we finish working together, you will have a court-approved Consent Order.
Your financial agreement will be formalised, your future protected and your financial ties brought to an end.
So you can both move forward knowing everything has been properly settled.
And just as importantly...life afterwards
Many couples tell me that once everything is approved and in place, the tension lifts.
They can focus on the future again - co-parent more calmly, attend important family moments without hostility and look back knowing they handled a difficult chapter in a fair and respectful way.
Susan has been a fantastic help in sorting our Financial Consent Order. The advice and assistance she gave has been invaluable.
She has acted in both our interests and provided great advice to us both. I cannot recommend her enough...thank you Susan.

I work on a straightforward fixed-fee basis, so you know from the cost from the outset.
There are no hourly rates and no hidden charges.
Because you are working with one shared solicitor, the overall cost is significantly lower than instructing two separate solicitors - and substantially less than going to court.
For couples who need help reaching agreement.
Fixed fee: £1,750 per person (£3,500 per couple)
For couples who’ve already agreed terms and want them checked and formalised properly.
Fixed fee: £1,250 per person (£2,500 per couple)
Yes - where both partners are willing to be open and constructive, it can be an entirely appropriate approach.
Fairness is at the heart of the process.
My role is to help you reach an agreement that is fair to both of you in the context of your particular circumstances - taking into account matters such as housing needs, income, pensions, children, future security and the overall assets available.
Fair does not always mean an equal split. What is fair depends on the facts of each case.
I guide you both through that discussion carefully, explain what the law would usually consider reasonable, and ensure any agreement reached is one that can properly be approved by the court.
The aim is that both of you feel matters have been dealt with properly and fairly in your unique circumstances.
It is normal if discussions between you both have been difficult up until now.
My role is to help you work through those sticking points calmly, explain what is fair in legal terms, and keep discussions constructive.
Many couples find that once there is clear guidance and someone neutral keeping things steady, agreement becomes much easier to reach.
If it becomes clear that a joint approach is no longer the right route, I will say so honestly and explain the next sensible steps.
Yes - absolutely.
A Consent Order is your court-approved court order, confirming how your assets, pension, debts and income will be divided following your divorce.
Without a Consent Order, either of you could make a future financial claim, even years after your divorce.
It’s also the only way pensions can be shared legally.
For most couples, no.
Court is usually the most adversarial and expensive route. It can take years and significantly increase conflict.
Where both partners are willing to be transparent and constructive, reaching agreement together is typically simpler, faster and far more cost-effect.
6. What about mediation?
Mediation can work well for some couples.
However, mediators cannot provide legal advice or draft the legally binding documents required for court approval.
My service combines structured legal guidance with preparation of the formal documents - so your agreement is both fair and legally binding.
7. What does 'Freelance Solicitor' mean?
I am regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA Number 8013506) and work directly with clients, without being part of a traditional firm.
This allows for a more personal service, clear communication and fixed fees - with one solicitor handling your matter from start to finish.

Before starting the separation process, I had a free consultation with a solicitor. It felt daunting and far too much for our circumstances.
Ours was a fairly simple and amicable situation. We’d already agreed to apply online ourselves, since we had few shared assets and the legal fees we’d each been quoted seemed completely disproportionate.
But even with an amicable separation, it still felt daunting to do it all with no legal support - especially once we started talking about how to divide our assets.
That’s when I found Susan, who works with both partners together.
She made the whole process easier and more transparent for us both. We stayed amicable, felt supported every step of the way, and avoided the stress and expense of two separate lawyers.
I can’t recommend her highly enough
