When a parent moves, what happens to the children?
Divorce is often complex, and introducing an international element adds an additional layer of intricacy. Our Leicester-based solicitors have extensive experience in managing all facets of international divorce, particularly those involving child arrangements.
In a recent case, Partner and Head of International Holly Lamb represented a client whose ex-spouse intended to move abroad for work, taking their two children, aged 7 and 11, along. Despite the ex-husband's insistence on the opportunities abroad, Holly's client, who wanted the children to remain in England due to school and a local support network, sought legal guidance.
With Holly's expertise, the court considered the children's well-being and various factors in making child arrangements. The court ruled in favour of Holly's client, allowing the children to remain settled in England, with school holidays spent mostly with their father abroad.
Navigating Spousal Support
Spousal support, also known as spousal maintenance, involves one party paying the other a monthly income post-divorce. While intended to fairly support the financially weaker party, disputes can arise.
Our Leicester family lawyers recently handled a case involving a family with three children. The high-earning father agreed, through lawyer-led negotiations, to provide income to Stowe's client until the youngest child turned 18, with a review scheduled at that point.
Tax Liabilities in Divorce
Divorce can complicate tax matters, and our expert lawyers offer tailored advice on clients' tax positions. Although divorce doesn't impact individual tax positions, tax liabilities can surface during the financial settlement.
Katie Kilburn, a Resolution Accredited Specialist in Complex Financial Remedies in our Leicester office, recently guided a client concerned about tax implications when taking on a larger share of a shared business. Katie facilitated the division of the joint business and associated tax liabilities, allowing the client to move forward confidently.
