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.

Tagged solicitor Catherine Taylor

I have encountered a very long legal battle over my property which ended up in court a few times.Sasha and Catherine took me through the process every step of the way explaining the procedures involved in making court applications and my legal rights, i felt very reassured whilst being on this roller coaster ride and had confidence in the staff at Butters David Grey throughout the whole process.Davina was always helpful responding to all communication swiftly and giving good advice.Sasha held my hand whilst in court I honestly don’t know what I would of done without her she is very straight talking and honest person and you know exactly where you stand at all times. I would highly recommend.
