Legal 500 (2015)
Our Family Law barristers represent and advise a wide range of clients from those of modest means to high net worth individuals. Although typically we represent wives and husbands following the breakdown of their relationship, we are also increasingly representing cohabitees and same sex couples in the same situation, children or parents making applications for financial provision under Schedule 1 of the Children Act 1989 (often for help with the costs of attending university) and third parties, including companies and trustees, who intervene in financial cases. Some of our family law barristers have also been instructed by the official solicitor where a party lacks capacity.
We have particular experience in the following areas:
• Business assets, including farms
• Trust assets, both on and offshore
• Cases involving serious misconduct
• Bankruptcy
• Hidden assets
• Freezing orders
• Short marriages
• Maintenance, both spousal and for children
• Jurisdictional disputes and forum shopping
• Financial relief after overseas divorce
• Variation and setting aside of orders
• Enforcement of orders
• Pre- nuptial and separation agreements
• Civil partnership disputes
• Schedule 1 of the Children Act 1989
• Child Support
• TOLATA/ Cohabitant disputes
• Claims under the Inheritance Act
• Appeals
• Mediation
