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.
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.

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.

Tagged solicitor Alice Scambler
Alice was amazing. I had a query that another firm was unable to answer properly and she reviewed the information very quickly and was able to provide me with a very clear reply. I would highly recommend Alice and I wish I'd known her at the outset of my divorce proceedings not at the end! If you find her on here then don't hesitate to appoint her!

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.
