The easiest way to get divorced in the UK
For most people the easiest route is a no-fault application prepared online, without a solicitor. There is nothing to prove, no hearing to attend in a straightforward case, and one person can do all of it.
CalmSplit turns the divorce into a series of plain-English questions, prepares your application pack, and shows you exactly how to submit it. £159 one-off, per person.
- No blame, no evidence, no separation period
- No hearings in a straightforward, uncontested case
- One fixed £159 fee, no hourly billing
One-off CalmSplit fee. HMCTS court fees are paid separately to the court.

See how it worksWhat makes a divorce easy or hard
- Easy: you are eligible, you have your marriage certificate, and your spouse can be contacted
- Harder: your spouse cannot be found, the marriage took place abroad and documents are missing, or finances are heavily disputed
- The divorce itself is rarely the hard part; the financial settlement usually is
The simplest possible sequence
- Check suitability in a few free questions
- Answer the guided questions and prepare your application
- Submit to HMCTS and pay the court fee
- Wait 20 weeks, apply for the Conditional Order, then the Final Order
Where a solicitor still helps
CalmSplit is a self-help platform, not a law firm. If there are significant pensions, a business, or a dispute you cannot resolve, independent legal advice is worthwhile. An independent solicitor review of a consent order is available as an optional add-on.
What it costs
£159 per person as a one-off CalmSplit fee. The HMCTS divorce fee is paid separately to the court, and Help with Fees may be available depending on your circumstances.
