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.

Philip Porter

Tagged solicitor Philip Porter

Mr Porter was extremely helpful in progressing my divorce, particularly when dealing with a difficult opposite party who were not engaging in good faith and were constantly being obstructive. Mr Porter gave advice that was in my long term interests and was tenacious in ensuring my divorce was fully completed and pro active in contacting the other side to drive the case to a resolution. I would definitely recommend his services to others.

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!

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

Michael Brierley

Tagged solicitor Michael Brierley

Having spent the previous 24 months going around in circles with another practice, it was a pleasure to be introduced to Michael at Stokes Partners who excelled in every sense of the word. From the initial phone call to the final email, his care, excellent advice and efficient service meant much more than words can ever express at a time when the family needed it most.
