Chester: Divorce settlement secures home and clean break

How our family law solicitors helped

We offered clear strategic advice about financial settlement options and arranged forensic accounting of the spouse’s financial and business interests.

The divorce process was co-managed by Gabrielle Read-Thomas and Mollie Greenwood. The client liked this approach, commenting on the support from Mollie:

“I would like to thank her for all of her advice and support, she was brilliant.”

Remote appointments were more convenient for the client, although they could also opt for in-person meetings whenever they wanted.

Helping clients move forward with confidence

The client was very happy with the financial settlement, which meant they could keep the family home. With additional money agreed from the spouse’s business interests, they could also pay off the mortgage.

A pension sharing order meant that pension provision was equal, despite the spouse’s attempt to exclude their pension from the settlement. The clean break financial arrangement drew a line between the ex-spouse’s financial ties and helped our client move forward with confidence.
