Divorce and separation work covers ending a marriage or civil partnership and dealing with arrangements for children, finances and housing. A solicitor drafts and files the divorce petition, handles financial remedy proceedings, negotiates or applies for consent orders, and represents clients in negotiations, mediation, and court. They gather financial disclosures, identify assets, pensions, and liabilities, check for any protection orders, and advise on timing and next steps. They coordinate with respondents, experts, and mediators to reach a settlement or prepare for court.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The stakes are high: decisions on finances and housing can shape long-term living arrangements and children's welfare, with deadlines that bite in court. A solicitor provides professional oversight, protects client position through regulated conduct, and manages disclosures, negotiations, and, if needed, advocacy in court.
