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.

Stephanie Buckeridge

Tagged solicitor Stephanie Buckeridge

Dealing with Stephanie Buckeridge in support of my divorce was much easier than I might have expected. Her professional advice, tempered with a supportive approach made the whole process acceptable. Her reaction to some of the requests from the other party matched my thoughts, though I was always provided with alternative approaches, along with potential consequences. I would certainly recommend Gardner Leader to others.

Ann Hallmark

Tagged solicitor Ann Hallmark

I first approached Ann on recommendation when wanting advice on a potential financial agreement with my ex-husband. There were several unusual aspects in terms of gender equality about our family finances, and, from the off, Ann understood my circumstances as a woman and the main earner, offered excellent advice, answered all of my concerns and then set about ensuring that she delivered an effective, supportive service that enabled us to divorce in such a way that ensured my family was protected, the agreement was equitable and my ex-husband and I stayed friends through the process. I appreciated her clarity, thoughtfulness, thoroughness and effective, responsive service. I have recommended Ann to friends already and will continue to do so.

I had a very positive experience overall. My solicitor was extremely responsive, approachable and efficient throughout the process of counselling me on my prenuptial agreement. Communication was excellent, and I always felt that questions were dealt with promptly and clearly in most situations. Remarkably easy to understand and relatable. I would definitely recommend to friends.
