Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

The Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 introduces no‑fault divorce for England and Wales. It means a marriage or civil partnership can end without proving fault, focusing on the couple’s decision to separate and their arrangements for children and finances. A solicitor helps you apply for dissolution, whether jointly or disputed, and guides you through steps from petition to final order, including notifying the other party, completing forms, and liaising with the court. The process is shaped by the need to secure a fair financial settlement and orderly parenting arrangements.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The act fixes important steps and deadlines that affect a client’s position, such as the move from petition to decree nisi and then to the final order, with emphasis on timely, orderly resolution. A solicitor provides guidance on filing, documentary disclosure, and ensuring the court considers sensitive matters like children and financial settlements within the lawful framework and deadlines.

Wendy Campbell

Tagged solicitor Wendy Campbell

Winston Solicitors were recommended to me by a friend. I have been extremely impressed and happy right from my first telephone conversation with Wendy Campbell about my divorce through to the receipt of my decree absolute. Wendy has always been friendly, professional, prompt in her responses/actions, open, honest, keen to ensure that I understand everything and above all extremely kind, empathic and supportive. I truly feel I could not have asked for better. Thank you so much, I will never forget how you have helped me through one of the most difficult and hurtful periods of my life.

Rubina Vohra

Tagged solicitor Rubina Vohra

I used Rubina Vohra at Forbes for advice and help with my recent divorce. I had previously seen another solicitor - I had 2 hours of an appointment, ended up in tears and feeling stressed and paid £350 for the pleasure. My first meeting with Rubina couldn't have been more different - I came out feeling empowered, in control, had a clear understanding of the process and knew exactly what I needed to do and how things were likely to play out. Rubina and Melanie were both easy and pleasant to deal with. I got honest, clear advice and would definitely recommend.

Alexandra Goldrein

Tagged solicitor Alexandra Goldrein

Alex Goldrein was my main point of contact from start to finished during my divorce. I chose Alex for her direct but friendly approach and we quickly built a strong working relationship. Alex did not overly correspond and got the balance of interaction with me spot on throughout our 18 months of dealings. From the outset, Alex proactively advocated mediation for my case until this was rejected by the other side. After recommending an excellent barrister, we were able to create and submit a fair and balanced, without prejudice offer framed in current and relevant case law. Furthermore, Alex recommended a private FDR hearing process which accelerated the process and ultimately resulted in an outcome that was inline with my original without prejudice offer. Alex has a strong legal mind, which is framed in the current and relevant direction of the institution of divorce law. She has been constantly available and supportive through this difficult time and has ultimately achieved an outcome that is very similar, if not better, than she articulated at the start of process. Would fully recommend Alex as a trusted legal advisor. Thank you!

Debra Taylor

Tagged solicitor Debra Taylor

I was absolutely dreading having to go through/deal with my divorce, but my solicitor Debra Taylor from Richard Reed Solicitors was my saviour. She guided and helped me through the procedures and reassured me when I needed it. Her competence in dealing with everything was second to none and gave me the courage to "cross the finish line". I cannot thank her enough. She made something so hard to do, become bearable. Secretary Danielle was also brilliant in relaying information.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Rothera Bray Solicitors during a challenging divorce process, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their guidance and support were invaluable, making a difficult time much more manageable. A special shout-out to Rebecca Hudson, my solicitor, who was exceptional throughout the entire process.

Her professionalism and empathy helped me navigate the complexities of divorce with confidence and peace of mind. Rebecca's ability to explain legal jargon in an understandable way and her proactive approach in handling my case were truly commendable.

Jen Law

Tagged solicitor Jen Law

We were very fortunate to have been advised and represented by Jen during a recent case. Undoubtedly without Jen the outcome would have been less positive. We were constantly informed and updated of our situation during the whole process. You could clearly see Jen was respected greatly from the other legal professionals and this provided a great deal of confidence to us as well as a calming influence that is sometimes needed during such delicate discussions and negotiations. We ultimately received the best possible outcome with our case and cannot thank Jen enough. Jen is Tenacious but at the same time a calming influence. We always felt looked after is how i would best describe our experience. Ultimately the most professional service we could have hoped for!
