amicable divorce Avis 901

Very professional and efficient service, providing support and advice throughout the process. Would highly recommend

Funny to give 5 stars to a divorce, but Amicable did what it said it would - got us divorced amicably, with costs paid up front and no hidden surprises. Having watched a few of my friends be badly damaged emotionally and financially doing it with separate lawyers I 100% endorse this approach.

Dan, our lawyer, was great although I think we helped by being genuinely amicable and my ex was scrupulous in the finances so that also made life easier for all.

The whole process was simple and straighforward. My ex husband and I knew what we wanted and the team from Amicable made that happen. Sue, our advisor, was very supportive throughout the whole process.
The only slight negative point was that the dashboard did not always save changes and edits I made. Otherwise communications were speedy and supportive.
I would highly recommend their service, and a huge thank you to the team.

Clear communications. Answered questions quickly.
Friendly throughout. Corrected any errors or issues with speed.
Entering and saving information on a couple of sections on the Dashboard caused a few hold ups, but was generally a smooth process.
Considering the stress of divorce (and buying/selling houses) They were the least of the problems. Very pleased with the efficient value for money service Amicable provided.

Dan Martinez is very professional and always focused on solutions. I had a need to contact him long after the divorce process with Amicable and he has been responsive and so helpful with the information required. Goes above and beyond.

Emma made it easy

A structured process that allows you to progress from 'know nothing about divorce' to 'consent order that will get approved by the courts'. In our case, even though we agreed on most things, there was still a lot to discuss and we valued the non-confrontational methodology and calm approach of our divorce specialist Laura. Having been married 18 years we of course had a lot of emotional baggage even though this was an 'amicable' divorce. We benefited from a separate course of intensive couples therapy (arranged by ourselves but I believe you can investigate through Amicable as well). The benefit of doing this parallel couples psychotherapy is that we offloaded our emotional baggage with the therapist, leaving our heads clear to engage fully with Laura and to focus on our children and our future finances. For us, this service saved us a lot of money and heartache. We submitted our divorce via the gov.uk portal in mid December 24 and our final order was granted in early September 25. Ours was a fairly detailed consent order that the courts approved first time around. We are sure that this 'rocket propelled' timeframe was possible because of Laura's input. Outside of the Amicable process, it will help if you do some reading up and join support groups as this will help you to get the most out of the service. Be prepared to spend a lot of time gathering your financial details for your specialist to look at. Thank you Laura for always being available to answer our questions and for being meticulous with the financial spreadsheet and legal drafting.

Laura was professional and knowledgeable but also warm, friendly and understanding and most of all completely fair in her assessment of our situation.

Emma helped us through a difficult period, demonstrating good knowledge and good communication throughout.

I had little choice in proceeding with this form of divorce, as it was my husband’s decision. While it may work for couples who are genuinely amicable, I would not recommend it where there is conflict. Independent legal representation is essential in such cases.

I found the level of support during this process to be minimal, and the needs of our children were not given sufficient consideration. Additionally, the promised six sessions were not delivered.

Overall, if you are not entirely comfortable sharing legal representation with your spouse, I would advise seeking an alternative approach.

Excellent information about how both amicable and legal process works, efficient, timely responses that paid attention to information we provided, unexpectedly fast turn around from step to step

Very grateful for professional, humane approach and rapid outcome

So we filed for our divorce just over a year ago. Thankfully Dan @ Amicable has been amazing throughout - it has been a rollercoaster of emotions but he has helped and guided me and my ex throughout and the end result we have become amicable and has been a smooth service throughout and our divorce finalised last week. Plus the fees are far more affordable than instructing a typical divorce layer where you can spend tens of thousands! Amicable fees are fixed and therefore able to have decent deposits on our new purchases - rather than wasting money with expensive lawyers. Highly recommended. Dan you have been amazing and easy to communicate with. So pleased we went with you! We will be grateful for you. Thanks & all the best - Jade C

Thank you amicable

I am pleased I chose Amicable to handle my divorce. They were extremely professional and helped us to achieve a fair outcome whilst avoiding high legal costs.
Special thanks to Shreepali!

Very good, makes it easier to do this thing more amicably. Guess it can save people a vast amount of money in most circumstances. Its a hard time, you need to not lose your whole life savings to a solicitor and lawyer. This gives you all you need to make it work.

Never thought I would review my divorce but I must say Emma and amicable made this process very easy for us
made sure we where always kept informed and helped us through the stages
With ease
Always had time for us and answered all our questions and put us at ease when it could be stressful
Thank you for helping us through

It was straightforward. Exactly what’s needed when you are still friends with your ex.

The service I used was straight forward and simple, questions were answered promptly and dashboard shows you where you are with the process.

Updated: Since writing this review, the leadership team personally reached out. I appreciated the gesture and the time taken, in addition to some personal advice given. While I still stand by my original concerns, I recognize the effort to address them and wanted to reflect that here.

-----------

Original review: Amicable has added stress to an already painful experience. The biggest issue has been support communication. Different support agents dip in and out of our case without context, often asking the same questions repeatedly and causing delays to our timeframes.

I’ve received emails that turned out to be “glitches”, including distressing ones about court submissions that had supposedly already happened weeks ago.The experience has been disorganized.

Our advisor Shreepali was able to help my ex husband and I through the process in a calm way. Her gentle approach enabled us to resolve our differences in an adult manner without unnecessary conflict.
