Contentious family work in England covers disputes such as divorce proceedings, child arrangements, financial relief, and specific protection orders, pursued through the Family Court or the High Court where necessary. A solicitor drafts petitions, statements, and affidavits; applies for and resists orders such as injunctions and enforcement measures; negotiates settlements; and represents clients at hearings, including interim applications and final hearings in private law and related financial remedies. This work proceeds within the framework of the Children Act 1989 and the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, among other statutes.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles pleadings, case strategy, disclosure of financial and personal information, cross-examination, and the preparation of evidence from experts such as financial analysts, psychologists, or medical professionals. They coordinate with local authorities, guardians ad litem, and other professionals, and navigate court timetables, case management, and potential appeals to ensure client interests are protected through carefully timed applications and negotiations.

Tagged solicitor Catherine Taylor

I have encountered a very long legal battle over my property which ended up in court a few times.Sasha and Catherine took me through the process every step of the way explaining the procedures involved in making court applications and my legal rights, i felt very reassured whilst being on this roller coaster ride and had confidence in the staff at Butters David Grey throughout the whole process.Davina was always helpful responding to all communication swiftly and giving good advice.Sasha held my hand whilst in court I honestly don’t know what I would of done without her she is very straight talking and honest person and you know exactly where you stand at all times. I would highly recommend.

I have used these solicitors 3 times for all my cases and I can’t thank them enough for all the help and compassion they have shown me over the years. If I ever find myself in a situation where I need a solicitor again I will 100% come back to these. 100% recommend for anyone who have child law issues.
