WHAT WE DO
The team of solicitors at Brookman deals exclusively with family law and related matters. Our clients in Holloway and in neighbouring parts of the London Borough of Islington can get help with:
- Divorce and Separation – We advise local clients who are considering divorce or who have just begun the process. We understand that each case is different. Reaching a final settlement doesn’t depend on the number of children you have or the extent of your financial resources. Where required we can assist with the administrative aspects of divorce, ensuring online applications are completed accurately and that financial claims are notified to the court at the appropriate time. This can minimise any delay in the process and avoid any negative impact on your financial settlement. After we’ve formed a full picture of your circumstances, we can advise you on the best way to proceed.
- Financial Aspects of Divorce and Separation – There are no hard and fast rules about how assets are divided on divorce. Courts take multiple factors into account, including the duration of the marriage and your future earning capacity. 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. We bring decades of experience to the table, giving us the ability to advise you early on about what a realistic settlement might look like. Our insight and advice can help simplify and shorten even the most bitterly contested divorce affecting clients in Holloway and other parts of Islington.
- Issues That Concern Children – We’ll work with you and your spouse’s representative to reach an agreement about where your children will live after divorce, and what time they will spend with the non-resident parent. If agreement isn’t possible we’ll apply to court for the necessary Child Arrangement Order. Courts will always put the needs of children ahead of any other considerations, so you need to bear this in mind when discussing child arrangements with your estranged spouse.
- 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 individuals across the N7 and N19 postcodes and neighbouring areas on whether they might be appropriate for you.
- Divorce With An International Angle – Brookman is recognised widely for its experience in international divorces. If there is international property or you or your spouse have connections with another country, your divorce could potentially be decided outside of England and Wales. We advise on how this may impact your financial settlement and child arrangements.
