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.
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 Emily Roskilly
I was really grateful to have Emily on my side during my recent separation. We secured a great deal in resolving the dispute with my ex-partner which related to non-equal shares in our home that was owned in joint names without a shareholder agreement.
