Contested divorces cover cases where spouses disagree about ending the marriage, finances, or related arrangements in England. A solicitor handling this area helps you navigate fault or no-fault divorce petitions, respond to the other side’s case, and manage court deadlines. They draft and exchange court documents, such as statements, petitions, or responses, gather financial disclosures, negotiate settlements, and prepare for, or conduct, hearings on finances, pensions, and any children’s arrangements in the family courts.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key moment is when the court decides financial provision and any children’s arrangements.

I went to Kidwells solicitors in Hereford and had a fantastic experience. Caitlin assisted me in a financial matter regarding my divorce. She was knowledgeable and with her help I was guided to a satisfactory outcome. Can’t praise Caitlin highly enough.

Bethan Tapper

Tagged solicitor Bethan Tapper

Bethan Tapper, of Wendy Hopkins Family Law Practice, was the solicitor I used for my divorce. Beth was absolutely amazing from the start to the finish of the divorce process, often working very late into the evening and on weekends and going above and beyond to ensure that there were swift rebuttals to the many absurd and untrue comments and accusations coming from my ex-husband and his legal team. She was always there to support me and fight my corner at what was a very difficult time in my life, kind and always honest with me and swift to respond with eloquent and sharp responses to the opposition, whenever they were needed. Having Beth on my side gave me the strength to know that I could continue to fight and that the truth would prevail, as it did in court, and I am so happy with the fantastic result we achieved and to be able to move on with my life. She has been a rock for me when I needed support, kept me strong and made me smile and laugh when I needed it with her humour and empathy. She is amazing to have on your side, and I would recommend her and Wendy Hopkins Family Law Practice to anyone going through a difficult divorce, she is the best and I will be forever grateful.

Lindsay McKinnie

Tagged solicitor Lindsay McKinnie

I cannot be more grateful to Lindsay, throughout a very distressing time. To say the least I would recommend her 100%! Her conduct was not only very professional, but kind and down to earth. She made my family feel valued and supported. Lindsays communication with us was constant, replying by text, when she was unable to speak directly, giving reassurance when needed. She communicated everything we needed to know, throughly & made sure everything was understood, at every point of her service. At no point did we feel that there were any concerns of neglect, towards us or the situation we were dealing with. Lindsay remained focused and gave us peace of mind. This meant so much & was so important. Thank you!

Chris TaylorZahra Nawaz

Tagged solicitors Chris Taylor and Zahra Nawaz

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Eaton Smith twice now, and both experiences have been fantastic. Chris assisted me with the EULA for my indie game, and his kindness, thoroughness, and incredibly fast email responses made the entire process seamless. Later, when I needed a solicitor for my prenup, I immediately turned to Chris, who connected me with Zahra. She was just as professional and kind, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. She even caught an error in our documents at 8 PM on a Friday and reached out immediately to help us fix it. Their level of attentiveness and professionalism is truly exceptional, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal services.

Leon Messam

Tagged solicitor Leon Messam

Leon Massan and his firm were absolutely brilliant. We had a really difficult experience with a different solicitor at the start, but Leon was completely different. His knowledge of family law was amazing, but what stood out most was how he used it – he was completely non-judgmental, took the time to acknowledge that I have autism, explained everything clearly in simple terms, and secured an outcome far better than I ever thought possible. He was humane, thoughtful and truly client-focused, putting my needs first every step of the way. I would recommend him and his firm to anybody and everybody. --- Thank you from all the family

Emily Thomas

Tagged solicitor Emily Thomas

Emily first spoke to me on the phone when I was looking for a solicitor and I could tell from her tone and words that she understood I was in pain and in need of help. She was professional yet human throughout. She helped me navigate difficult times and I was grateful for her honesty and guidance.

I would like to thank Maxwell Hodge for their work, it’s been a difficult time and not the most straight forward of circumstances to navigate. The team have gone above and beyond in supporting and getting things to the end goal. I can’t recommend them enough.

Hannah Viet

Tagged solicitor Hannah Viet

Excellent, professional and friendly. I cannot recommend Hannah Viet, Yasmin Jeffery and the rest of the Horsham team highly enough! I very rarely leave reviews but felt I must in this instance. When I got in a flap, they reassured me. When I needed a reminder to reply to an email or complete a form, they gently nudged me. I am not sure there are any winners in a messy divorce but I understand that my ex-wife felt like she lost. Thank you Hannah et al

Nicola Weeks

Tagged solicitor Nicola Weeks

Pragmatic but essential guidance through divorce proceedings. It was very important to both of us that we didn't fall out and make a bad situation worse, and Nicola worked with me and my now ex-wife's solicitor to ensure that any queries or potentially contentious issues were quickly and positively closed down. The orders were proposed and agreed promptly and the whole exercise was as painless as it could be in the circumstances.
