Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Divorce Timeline, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This work covers the timeline of a divorce in England. It starts with submitting a divorce petition, then obtaining a conditional order (decree nisi) and finally the final order (decree absolute), while coordinating with any financial settlements or arrangements for children. A solicitor drafts or reviews the petition, applications for court orders, and any accompanying or related applications, and helps gather necessary documents and evidence. The timetable is shaped by court procedures and deadlines set by statute and guidance.

Where a solicitor protects your position

Key moments include the filing of the petition, service, the grant of a decree nisi and subsequent decree absolute, and any associated financial orders or plans for children. A solicitor ensures deadlines are met, evidence is prepared, and any disputes are managed through mediation or court process where needed, protecting ongoing rights and arrangements for each party.

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

Emilia HinchliffeRyan Revell

Tagged solicitors Emilia Hinchliffe and Ryan Revell

In April, we found ourselves involved in family proceedings following a minor argument between my partner and my daughter’s father, after which my daughter was retained and a number of serious allegations were made against both myself and my partner of eight years. Having looked at the many family solicitors available in the Hull area, we chose Kingston Family Law after reading reviews from other families who had found themselves in similar situations. We believe we made an excellent choice. We were allocated Ryan Revell to deal with our case, and he was fantastic throughout. He clearly explained the court process, what was required from us and the strategy for our case in a way that was easy to understand without being bogged down in legal jargon. Throughout the proceedings, Ryan kept our expectations realistic and, importantly, kept our focus on my daughter and what was best for her. He was organised, well prepared and productive throughout. Our case took around six months to conclude, and ultimately we achieved the result we wanted. Ryan did an excellent job communicating with professionals from ERYC, Cafcass and my daughter’s school, ensuring they had the information they needed to complete their reports and assessments. Anyone requiring the services of a solicitor should be prepared for a significant bill. However, I believe Ryan did his utmost to keep our costs as low as reasonably possible. He listened and communicated effectively, which reduced the need for us to repeatedly ask for clarification, and the court documents he produced were generally ready to go without unnecessary reworking. Kingston Family Law may not be the cheapest family solicitors in Hull, nor are they the most expensive, but we believe we received exceptional service for what we paid. While we feel the proceedings themselves were completely unnecessary and should never have happened, we are incredibly thankful for the support we received throughout them. I would highly recommend Ryan Revell and the team at Kingston Family Law to anyone who finds themselves needing support through family proceedings.

Leon Messam

Tagged solicitor Leon Messam

Leons extensive knowledge, competence and clarity of explanation at all stages during a difficult time meant that I trusted his advice and felt confidence in him throughout. Leon seemed genuinely committed to achieving the best outcomes and whilst consistently working hard , applied himself with a calm approach during a traumatic time which made it easier for me to manage. Such value for money and I would not hesitate in using him again.

Emily Thomas

Tagged solicitor Emily Thomas

Emily first spoke to me on the phone when I was looking for a solicitor and I could tell from her tone and words that she understood I was in pain and in need of help. She was professional yet human throughout. She helped me navigate difficult times and I was grateful for her honesty and guidance.
