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.
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.

Tagged solicitor Zoe Hewines
I would highly recommend Zoe, her professionalism, clear communication, and dedication throughout my case. From the outset, she provided straightforward advice and made sure I fully understood each stage of the process as my case wasn’t straight forward. Zoe always responds to queries and took the time to explain complex legal matters in a way that was easy to follow. I felt supported and well informed at every step, which made a potentially stressful situation much easier to manage. I can’t thank Zoe and her team enough for helping, listening and making sure I was ok when extremely stressed. Mel

I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Colin - in fact, I have already passed his details on to others. He is highly professional and knowledgeable and goes above and beyond. Colin is equally very approachable and always happy to answer any queries you may have. He has guided me through challenging times, for which I will be forever grateful. Colin explains everything clearly and works tirelessly to achieve the best outcomes. I felt I was in good hands every step of the way. Many, many thanks
