Top 10 of 4,159 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.

Peter Martin

Tagged solicitor Peter Martin

I obtained a second opinion from Peter Martin on several matters where my existing solicitor had been failing in both service and explanation of the status with my divorce case, and a brief review of the way forward for applying for probate in respect of my late mothers estate . I found Peter to be extremely knowledgeable and straight to the point. The advice given has probably saved me further expense and valuable time, and has clarified my position in respect of a formal complaint against my divorce case solicitor. I would be pleased to recommend him.
