If you have not consulted a solicitor before, you may also feel anxious about seeking legal advice but seeking expert assistance from the outset can be crucial in helping to resolve issues within divorce.

There are around 150,000 divorces each year in England and Wales alone and each one is different, so divorce is clearly a complex issue.

Our experienced team deals with divorce proceedings on a daily basis and can assist with all aspects of divorce. We will look after your best interests, and those of your children, if you have any, giving you realistic, professional advice that is right for you and your circumstances.

For example, we can assist you in completing a petition of divorce, to avoid the simple mistakes that are so easy to make at this stage but that can lead to serious difficulties in seeking to conclude your divorce.

If you receive a divorce petition from your spouse, it is important that you seek advice prior to responding as it is possible for information within the petition to be used in evidence against you in other family proceedings. Our team will be able to negotiate amendments to the petition to try to avoid such situations occurring.

Alongside advice relating to divorce proceedings, we can also advise you on financial arrangements that may be dealt with within the proceedings. For more information, visit our Finance on divorce section.
