If you need advice or assistance following the breakdown of a relationship, I can help. Going through a divorce is never easy, but it can be particularly difficult where you are worried about your finances or child arrangements.
I have assisted many clients in getting the outcome the need from divorce proceedings, whether that be a straightforward fixed fee divorce or complex financial settlement. I take the time to get to know each of my clients, their specific circumstances and most importantly, what they need from me.

The legal process involved in dissolving your marriage changed on 6th April 2022 when a new divorce law came into force removing the requirement to have grounds for ‘blame’ on the other party.
The new law allows couples the choice to end their marriage by signing a sole or joint statement confirming that the marriage has broken down and cannot be saved.
A statement of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage will now also stop a spouse contesting the divorce, as conclusive evidence enough for a court to make the divorce order.
Other changes under the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act include an increase in the minimum period between the start of proceedings and the application for conditional order (cooling off or reflection period) from 6 weeks and 1 day, to 20 weeks.
However, divorce becomes more complex where there are children or complex finances involved. This may involve tactful negation, and formal agreements to ensure all parties know where they stand and what their rights and obligations are.
