The Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 covers divorce, dissolution of civil partnerships, civil partner dissolutions, nullity of marriage, judicial separation and the financial remedies following relationships ending. A solicitor helps with issuing and defending petitions, negotiating financial settlements under the act, preparing ancillary relief applications, gathering financial information, and applying for court orders such as consent orders or orders for maintenance and property adjustment. The work is shaped by the Family Procedure Rules and the priorities of the family courts in England.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The act governs decisions that can irreversibly affect a client’s status and assets, including divorce or dissolution and long‑term financial arrangements. A solicitor ensures accurate filings, compliance with deadlines, and prepares for court hearings to protect your position, using established procedures, court forms and orders to secure timely, enforceable outcomes.
