What We Do
We understand the complexity and sensitivity of the issues our clients face. It’s one reason why at Brookman we only handle family law and divorce cases, ensuring that we are able to offer specialist and pragmatic advice – whatever your circumstances. Getting a final agreement on financial matters and child arrangements can be a long drawn out and stressful process. We’ll be with you at every stage, ensuring that you feel supported and legally protected. Our work includes:
- Divorce and Separation – Whether you have embarked on the process or are only just beginning to consider the possibility of divorce, we are here to help. We can assist with all the administrative aspects of divorce, from advising on the requirement to attend a mediation meeting at the outset to completing the necessary online forms and ensuring that you notify the court in good time of any financial claim you may wish to make. After our initial meetings when we have fully understood your position, we can advise you on your options and how to take things forward.
- Financial Aspects of Divorce and Separation – In England and Wales judges have a lot of flexibility when deciding how to divide the assets of a couple getting divorced. This means it can be difficult to predict what a final settlement or court order might look like. Because we have so many years of expertise in complex and sometimes bitterly contested financial remedy proceedings, we are able to realistically assess your prospects at an early stage. At Brookman we deal with cases ranging from the relatively straightforward involving modest assets to the most complex cases centring on high value assets located in multiple jurisdictions. Our insight and advice can help shorten the time you spend discussing financial matters with your ex.
- Pensions – It’s crucial to get pensions valued accurately so that they are properly considered in any financial order. Courts can make a range of orders, including Pension Sharing Orders or they can offset the value of a pension against other assets so you should never overlook any pension funds you or your spouse have built up before or during the marriage. We’ll advise you of your pension rights and where necessary engage a specialist to accurately assess the value of any pensions that form part of the matrimonial pot.
- Child Arrangements – Working out where children will live after divorce and what time they will spend with a non-resident parent is often a painstaking exercise which must be handled with extreme care and attention to the smallest details. Courts are less concerned with a parent’s rights than the interests and welfare of the child so any arrangements must be agreed with this in mind. If agreement isn’t possible, we’ll apply to court for the necessary Child Arrangements Order. If you have concerns that a child may be removed from the country (international child abduction) you should immediately let us know so we can take appropriate action. Similarly if your ex is relocating to another part of the UK, we can advise you on your position.
- Pre And Post Nuptial Agreements – Increasingly recognised in England and Wales these agreements can help simplify matters in the event of divorce. In appropriate cases, they can also help safeguard family inheritances. We can advise on whether they might be appropriate for you and prepare agreements that are as legally robust as possible.
- International Divorce – Brookman is recognised as a firm with particular expertise in
international divorce. We understand how any international dimension to your family affairs can impact the financial settlement and arrangements for children. If there is international property for example, or you or your spouse have connections with another country, your divorce could also potentially be decided outside of England and Wales. Because of our international experience we have often been asked to act in Hague Convention cases where a child has unlawfully been removed from the jurisdiction of England and Wales.
