In England, the old fault-ground approach has been superseded by a no-fault divorce regime, so this area primarily concerns the current process for obtaining a divorce where neither party has to prove fault. A solicitor handles the application for a divorce, prepares and files the online or paper forms, negotiates arrangements for children and finances, and assists with orders such as the conditional order and final decree, plus related property and maintenance agreements. They also coordinate with the other party, courts, and any required consent orders.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The process involves completing the divorce petition, clarifying the parties’ separation timeline, and arranging for financial and child arrangements post-divorce. The solicitor ensures forms are correctly completed to avoid delays, liaises with the other party to reach agreement where possible, and, if needed, applies for a financial remedy or consent order to bind the parties to agreed terms.
