- The timing of the commencement of divorce proceedings and any tax and financial issues arising
- Jurisdiction issues
- The appropriateness of negotiating a separation agreement to record childcare and financial arrangements, rather than starting divorce proceedings
- The importance of agreeing and communicating post-separation arrangements for children
Examples of recent work include:
- Advising on the status of a marriage contracted outside England and Wales
- Advising on jurisdictional issues, including the option of issuing divorce proceedings outside England and Wales and the associated financial ramifications
- Advising on defended divorce procedure and the relevance of behaviour allegations in subsequent financial and children proceedings
- Advising on the impact of re-marriage prior to the resolution of financial claims
- Advising on the appropriateness of commencing divorce
proceedings as the mechanism to obtain pension sharing
