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 Pernilla Finnila
This is the second time I have had occasion to use Pernilla on family matters. On both occasions her advice has been excellent, and whilst I truly hope I don't have to instruct her in formal proceedings I will have no hesitation in doing so if this matter does end in court again.

Tagged solicitor Ian Brunt
I worked with Ian regarding an Adoption case. I am an Advocate and I was the Litigation Friend for Dad. Ian was fantastic with the person I was supporting. Ian took time to explain to Dad, in great, simplistic language, what was happening, what Dad's rights where, and how I could help, and Ian could help too. Myself and Ian had a wonderful working relationship, ensuring the best possible outcome for Dad, working in joint partnership. Ian took great steps to explain in clear and honest communication what Dad's rights were, even in what was a very difficult case. Ian was knowledgeable, professional, responsive and always had a friendly smile to greet us. I would use Ian again and would recommend him to the colleagues in my organisation.

Tagged solicitor Mei-Ling McNab
Mei-Ling was always very clear with her explanations & always took time to make sure that she had explained everything clearly to me. My previous lawyer had constantly confused me & I felt as if she jumped from one thing to the new expecting me to understand everything about the legal processes for a divorce.

Tagged solicitor Clare Eastwood
I would wholly recommend Aldridge Brownlee for legal affairs. They provided an excellent service and treated my elderly mum with courtesy and respect whilst she gave over power of attorney which she found confusing at times. Clare was patient, understanding and kind. Sally Curtis
