Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Divorce Petition Grounds, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A solicitor drafts the petition, gathers supporting evidence or corroboration, serves papers on the respondent, and manages any responsive defenses. They may advise on whether to pursue separation with consent or a longer separation, prepare statements of arrangements for money and children, and navigate court directions, interim orders, and eventual decree. They also handle communications with the Family Court and, if needed, mediation or contested steps.

Zena has been absolutely amazing, not just for the legal side, but a great support, I found my divorce hard and it made me feel anxious and stressed, Zena would always reassure me, she would always respond to me promptly and ring me back straight away if I needed her. She helped me and I am now in a better place thanks to Zena. I would highly recommend Zena to any one looking for a divorce/finance solicitor as she is the best.

Lauren Riley

Tagged solicitor Lauren Riley

When faced with the difficult decision to seek an enforcement order for a child arrangement order, I knew I needed a solicitor who was not only legally sharp but also deeply understanding of the sensitive nature of the situation. From the moment I instructed her, Lauren Riley proved to be exactly that and more. The process of enforcing a child arrangement order can be incredibly stressful, and Lauren handled every step with a perfect balance of legal assertiveness and genuine compassion. She listened carefully to my concerns about the breaches of the order and meticulously gathered the necessary evidence. Lauren’s guidance was invaluable, as she clearly explained the legal requirements and what to expect from the court proceedings. Her communication was excellent; she was always available to answer my questions and provided regular updates, which gave me immense peace of mind during a very anxious time. Lauren's ability to present a clear and compelling case to the court was instrumental in the positive outcome we achieved. She was a tireless advocate for my child’s best interests, and I felt completely confident in her representation. Thanks to Lauren's expertise and dedication, me and my child are getting required building blocks put in place by the court . I wholeheartedly recommend Lauren Riley to any parent who needs a solicitor to navigate the complexities of child arrangements and enforcement. She is a compassionate and formidable lawyer who truly fights for what is right."
