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.

Bilal Raza

Tagged solicitor Bilal Raza

I had a very positive experience with Bilal Raza at BW Solicitors in Ilford, who handled my legal application. From the beginning, Bilal was calm, understanding and professional. He took the time to understand my situation and always focused on what was best for me, without unnecessarily complicating the case. He explained the process clearly, handled everything very smoothly, and kept me updated throughout, which gave me a lot of reassurance during what could otherwise have been a stressful time. I really appreciated his straightforward and supportive approach and the way he managed the entire process from start to finish. I would highly recommend Bilal Raza to anyone looking for professional and reliable legal support with a family matter. Thank you, Bilal, for making the whole process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Preeya Rampersad

Tagged solicitor Preeya Rampersad

I engaged KLR to administer my divorce proceedings, these turned out to be lengthy! I dealt solely with Preeya Rampersad throughout. Preeya gave me clear , concise, accurate advice which she always fully explained. This gave me the ability to respond to any questions with full information. She was always positive and certainly kept me on point at times when things dragged ie during Covid. All of the staff at KLR that in encountered whether by phone, email or in person were always helpful, cheerful and always professional. I made an excellent choice for my legal council.

Bethan was invaluable when it came to guiding me through the complex procedures of divorce. Getting a financial order was essential and would have been extremely difficult without her help and support. I would recommend Bethan Tapper and Wendy Hopkins Family Law Practice!

Dean  Gallacher

Tagged solicitor Dean Gallacher

Hi Let me begin by saying the work for me that Dean Gallagher has done has been fiat class. The practice itself seems extremely focused on speed and communication. Personally I’m from a construction background so it’s been extremely refreshing for everything to be explained so clearly. Regardless of anything else I cannot fault the work the staff have put in. Thank you.

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.
