    This area covers the grounds on which a divorce petition can be based in England, typically framed as irretrievable breakdown supported by one of five facts: adultery, unreasonable behaviour, desertion, two years’ separation with the other party’s consent, or five years’ separation without consent. A solicitor helps draft and advance the petition, prepare and respond to evidence, liaise with the court, identify appropriate financial relief and arrange arrangements for children. The process hinges on the factual basis chosen and the timing of steps in court proceedings.

    “I came to Slater Heelies after a disaster with previous solicitor. Alex from the onset was friendly, reassuring, professional but firm. Many times she had to challenge my perspectives and encouraged strength. Alex had an objective approach and was always quick and prompt in replying to emails and calls. Her in depth knowledge was reassuring and was able to relay in a succinct manner that was easy to digest. I felt with Alex’s friendly manner that she always had my best interests at the heart and was extremely reassuring during the whole process which was really appreciated. I would have no hesitation in using her again… but at the same time hope that there would never be a need. Thank you ”

    “I would very strongly recommend Stowe Family Law. I have used Stowe for various legal proceedings for children’s and family finance related cases and they have been excellent. Throughout litigation, I have dealt with many members of staff at Stowe and they have all been extremely helpful and competent. I instructed Orla O’Connor for the legal proceedings. Orla is incredibly knowledgable and thorough, offering sound advice and managing my case, which was particularly challenging at times, very professionally. Orla was able to achieve my desired outcome at the final hearing and conclusion of my child order application. I cannot recommend Orla (and Stowe) highly enough !”

    Natasha Mitter Your solicitor Natasha Mitter Solicitor
    “I instructed Callam Standen at OTB Legal for an FLR(M) unmarried partner application under Appendix FM. From the very first consultation Callam was honest, clear, and straight to the point. He told me what I needed to hear rather than what I wanted to hear, and that honesty gave me confidence throughout the process. My case had some complexity — my partner and I had not cohabited due to some reasons, and I was working to a very tight deadline. Callam understood the urgency, prepared a thorough and well-crafted application, and addressed every potential question the caseworker might have in a detailed cover letter. He also discussed the case with a senior colleague to make sure the strategy was right. The application was submitted using the super priority service and was approved the day of biometrics. I could not have asked for a better outcome. Callam was responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about getting this right. His fees were transparent and fair, and he even adjusted them when the scope of the case changed. I would recommend him and OTB Legal without hesitation to anyone in a similar position. Thank you Callam — you changed my life.”

    “Rebecca made a difficult situation easier through her fair, honest and friendly approach. I felt I had a strong and supportive advisor in my corner as my wife and I worked through an amicable divorce settlement. I was tested on a few occasions and Rebecca's wisdom and firm advice (at times) held me to account so I, as did my wife receive a fair split based on our different situations. Rebecca was always quick to respond and went above and beyond with follow-up points when finalising my case..”
