    In England family work encompasses divorce and civil partnership dissolution, separation, financial remedy work, private and public children’s proceedings, adoption and surrogacy, non‑molestation and occupation orders, and related disputes between unmarried partners. A family solicitor drafts divorce petitions and Form E financial disclosure, negotiates and drafts consent orders and financial remedy proposals under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, applies for injunctions and occupation orders under the Family Law Act 1996, and represents clients in the Family Court and at hearings involving local authorities and children’s guardians under the Children Act 1989. Cases proceed under the Family Procedure Rules and, since the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020, no‑fault divorce.
