We offer a free initial telephone consultation with a highly experienced family law solicitor. This is your opportunity to talk through your situation, understand your options, and ask any initial questions you may have — without any further obligation.
2️⃣ Fixed Fee Meeting
After your initial free consultation, we offer a one-hour fixed-fee meeting with Akash Soni and a member of his experienced team of solicitors for £295.
During this meeting, we will discuss the specifics of your case in detail, explain how the law applies to your situation, talk you through your available options, and recommend a legal strategy tailored to your circumstances.
This session is designed to give you a clear understanding of your position and what steps you can take next.
Prior to our meeting, we will ask you to complete an information form and provide identification documents so we can complete our required regulatory checks.

If you decide to move forward with us after the fixed-fee meeting, we will provide you with a Client Care Letter. This sets out the services we will offer, who will be handling your case, and a clear estimation of the costs involved.

This deposit is usually £500, although the amount may vary depending on the nature and complexity of your case.

Divorce For Men: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Will I lose my house?
The matrimonial home is usually the biggest asset that a couple owns. If you have children, then the welfare of the children is important and where they will live. The children can live between both you and your spouse, and house may need to be sold to allow both of you to buy properties of your own.
There is no assumption that the mother will take on the main caring role. There are various ways of working out what to do with the family home. It is generally sold and the equity divided. Alternatively, the property could be transferred to one party, with the other receiving a larger share of other assets to compensate.
Every situation is different — if you’d like clear advice based on your circumstances, we’re here to help.
Do I have to share all my finances?
When negotiating a financial settlement, it is preferable if both parties make full financial disclosure. A financial agreement is often reached without the need to go to court, but if your case does go to a hearing, the court will aim to divide assets in a fair and equal way.
The judge will look at the needs of both you and your ex, the needs of your children and all the financial resources that you have.If one of you is in a weaker place financially or has given up career progression to care for children, then they could receive a larger share if they need it.
However, women are not favoured in a way they might once have been. There is no automatic entitlement to spousal maintenance and women will generally be expected to support themselves in the future rather than be given ongoing financial support. This is largely because women have as many opportunities for a career and employment as men do and children can be cared for between you both.
If you’re unsure about what you need to disclose or what a fair settlement could look like in your situation, Breakthrough Solicitors can help guide you through the process.
Does my ex-wife need to help with the expenses for the children?
Your ex-wife will be expected to help out with the expenses in respect of children following a divorce. The extent to which this is possible will depend on both hers and your financial situation, you are not expected to pay for everything.
Child maintenance will generally be paid to the main carer by the non-resident parent and is calculated on the basis of what the non-resident parent earns.If your children live with your ex-wife most of the time, but also stay with you for some of the time, this will be taken into account and child maintenance payments reduced accordingly.
If the children are cared between you equally, depending on what you both earn, there may be no need to pay maintenance.
If you’re unsure what applies in your case, we can offer you initial guidance: just book a free consultation or give us a call now.
Do I need to share my pensions when I divorce?
Pensions must be brought into account and can be shared in divorce in the same way that other assets are, with a starting point of equal division.
Whether your pension is shared will depend on how long you have been together and whether you paid into your pension prior to living together. Alternatively, the value of a pension can be offset against another asset, such as the family home.
We can help you understand what a fair split looks like in your situation: give us a call or book a free consultation for more details.
Can we separate the finances before divorce?
It is a good idea to agree a financial settlement with your ex before the divorce is finalised. If you do not have any form of financial order in place then it is open to your ex-wife to come back to you in the future to claim money, even if you are divorced.
Putting a consent order or a clean break order in place will give you the assurance of knowing exactly where you stand and allow you to plan for the future and is recommended.
If you'd like help, the team at Breakthrough Solicitors can assist you in negotiating a fair settlement and draft the legal documents needed to secure it.
How does the free initial consultation work?
Breakthrough Family Law Solicitors offers a free initial consultation to discuss your family law needs. The free initial consultation lasts 30 mins and is completely free.
It allows you to speak with an expert family lawyer, learn about your options, and ask any questions you may have.
Breakthrough Solicitors understand how difficult it can be to speak about sensitive and confidential family matters during the normal working day - and so you can contact us 7 days a week from 8am until 9pm.
What is the fixed fee meeting?
Breakthrough Family Law can offer a fixed fee meeting of up to one-hour.
The fixed fee meeting is the second step of our process (following the free initial consultation). It involves one of our highly experienced solicitors advising you on the law, your available options and proposing a potential legal strategy.
It costs £295 and is an affordable way of getting legal advice and a first set of answers.
Please note that, before your meeting, we’ll ask you to provide relevant documents to complete mandatory KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks.
What happens after the fixed fee meeting?
The fixed fee meeting is the second stage in the process (after the free initial consultation).
If you'd like Breakthrough Family Law to represent you after the fixed fee meeting, the process will be as follows:
1. You will need to sign the client care letter to formally instruct us
2. You'll need to put a deposit on the account (usually £500 but this depends on how much work is required on the case)
3. Once the deposit is received, Breakthrough Family Law will begin working on your case
Note that each situation different (going to court is more expensive than just negotiating) and this will be outlined in the client care letter.
