A client who had just separated from their spouse contacted our divorce lawyers in Canary Wharf for help. The client was originally from overseas and didn’t know how the divorce process worked. At an initial meeting, they spoke to Subecca Sheikh, an experienced divorce financial settlement solicitor in London, who explained how the finances and child arrangements might be handled.
During their 15-year marriage, our client had been the main earner, and their spouse had focused on caring for their children. In addition to the family home, the couple had significant assets approaching £700,000.
We approached the case with cultural awareness as we offered guidance on how the financial settlement could work, and discussed how child arrangement orders could be made to help support the children’s stability.
The client was keen to divorce amicably and wanted to ensure their spouse was looked after and secure. Divorce mediation was used as a constructive way to resolve matters and reduce conflict.
We provided accessible and straightforward advice from the start. Through mediation, we supported our client to reach practical child arrangements and a fair financial settlement. This out-of-court approach was appreciated by the client, who wanted their divorce to be settled in an amicable way.
This case shows how having the right legal support on your side can make all the difference, and how divorce mediation can lead to amicable and fair solutions.
