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.

Vinesh Patel

Tagged solicitor Vinesh Patel

I would not hesitate to recommend Stryders, particularly Vinesh Patel and Julie Leigh, the understanding and kindness they showed us at an incredibly worrying and scary time was brilliant. Vinesh was extremely professional and gave us the facts in a way we could understand and most importantly, gave us hope. Which paid off due to the competence and experience he has. A big thank you also to Harriet Lewis who represented our family member in Court. she showed a quick understanding of the family member and was confident and eloquent in defence. In a situation that looked stacked against him, this team more than exceeded our expectations. Thank you from us all.

Kerry Sauntson

Tagged solicitor Kerry Sauntson

I was looked after by Kerry Sauntson, and her colleagues Ben Parker and Leah Dujon. Whenever Kerry was unavailable Ben and Leah stepped in and ensured my case proceeded as smoothly as possible. On the day of my Court Hearing Leah spent the whole day with me, despite the fact that we were not required for much of the time. Both Ben and Leah are a credit to Calthrops and the way in which Kerry allows them to gain experience at first hand. I could not have been happier at my choice of Calthrops as my solicitors.

Emily first spoke to me on the phone when I was looking for a solicitor and I could tell from her tone and words that she understood I was in pain and in need of help. She was professional yet human throughout. She helped me navigate difficult times and I was grateful for her honesty and guidance.

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.

Hi Emily & Fazila, Thank you both for facilitating a new chapter in my life! As stress levels heightened towards the culmination of the process you kept your cool! I can honestly say that instructing Boyes Turner was the best decision ever and represented money well spent. Fazila you managed the bulk of the workstream and displayed professionalism of the highest calibre and your empathetic manner insured that a nerve-racking event was managed with care and compassion. Thank you!
