The team at our Leeds office in West Yorkshire supported a woman experiencing emotional abuse and controlling behaviour from her husband of over 30 years. The couple shared two teenage children and owned their home mortgage-free.
The Leeds team helped the client to understand her legal rights and the options available to her. We applied for and secured a non-molestation order that would help protect both her and the children from any further domestic abuse. We also referred our client to a trusted local domestic abuse support charity for additional help.
Our Leeds solicitors were then able to deal with the divorce and financial settlement, negotiating a fair division of the couple’s assets. The settlement ensured our client could provide a stable home for her children.
Making sure the client and her children were protected was of the utmost importance. The client described feeling relieved and safe thanks to the support of the team at Stowe Family Law’s Leeds office. The client received a financial settlement that recognised the long-standing nature of the marriage and her needs moving forward.
This case highlights the importance of having a local, experienced family law solicitor when navigating divorce, especially when domestic abuse is involved. If you’re in a similar situation, our Leeds law team is here to help.
