A recent achievement in a high profile case published
Commendation from a Judge in the Supreme Court in London
One of my most recent successful cases was in the Supreme Court in London, this related to a parental alienation case and was made public for the press to report on.
The judge, in this case, commented in the appendix notes about my role and support and gave a commendation for my work and specifically on my conduct, preparation, and presentation of the case
Financial Arrangement Cases
Specialist support only no legal advice In Financial Matters After Separation Or Divorce.
There is often no simple answer to the division of matrimonial assets and negotiation and the court process must have regard to the law and in particular, will have regard to Section 25 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, which lays down the rules on how the courts shall deal with property and financial issues.
Financial Arrangements For Children And Schedule 1 Of The Children Act 1989
In cases where the court may retain jurisdiction to deal with child maintenance issues, for example in cases of high-income parents, or to meet the costs of education or disability. The CSA will only have a role in cases where the children are under 16 (subject to an adjustment period of a few months after they leave school) or under 19 if they are still in education. The courts have the power to make orders for the support of children who are aged 19 or above but still in education or suffering from a disability.
Lump sum orders to benefit children or young adults who are still in education or where other special circumstances apply, this provision can be useful where parents have not been married and therefore the divorce law cannot be used to ensure proper housing for children while they are still dependent.
