Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
It is not a requirement to have a solicitor to get a divorce, and decisions about the cost of legal services are a matter for individual solicitors, not the UK Government or Parliament.
