Support Pricing
Indicative fixed fees for our three support tiers — placeholder amounts drawn from market research. Your fixed fee is always confirmed in writing on your free fit call before any commitment.
PLACEHOLDER PRICING — these amounts are indicative, drawn from market research, and not yet confirmed. Your fixed fee is always confirmed in writing on your free fit call before any commitment.
Phoenix Family Law is not a firm of solicitors and is not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. We provide administrative support and McKenzie Friend assistance based on lived experience of the family courts. We do not give legal advice.
Every tier is a single, indicative fixed fee — no hourly clock, no meter running while you talk. The amount below is what we expect the tier to cost; the exact fixed fee for your engagement is confirmed in writing, in your engagement letter, before anything is payable. Our services page describes each tier in full.

If your documents go over your tier's page cap
We pause and suggest the next tier before any extra work is done. Nothing extra is ever charged without your written agreement first — there are no surprise charges, ever. You can also simply stop at your cap: the choice is yours.
Paying
- The fee shown is the total you pay — nothing is added to it (including VAT, where applicable).
- Payment is by invoice and bank transfer, after you have received and accepted your engagement letter. Nothing is payable before then.
- Card payments are coming soon.
- Your 14-day cooling-off right applies to every engagement. The details are in our Terms of Service and Cancellation & Refunds policy, and are restated in your engagement letter.
What this compares to
For orientation only (indicative market figures): sector guides put typical solicitor fees for the same C100 work at roughly £250–£1,500 depending on complexity, and a solicitor can do things we cannot — give legal advice, represent you and deal with the court for you. Free help also exists, and for some situations it is the better route; our support services page lists the main free options. We would rather you choose the right kind of help than choose us by default.
Free help is also available
Paid support isn't the only route, and it isn't always the right one. Before you spend anything, please check what's available free of charge:
- Check if you qualify for legal aid — the official gov.uk checker.
- Support Through Court — free practical and emotional support for people facing court alone.
- RCJ Advice / CourtNav — free family law help, including guided online completion of domestic-abuse injunction applications (non-molestation and occupation orders).
- FLOWS — free legal support for women experiencing domestic abuse.
Our own Family Court Guide and signposting pages are free and always will be.
