Shivi Rajput acted on behalf of a client leaving a long marriage that had been marked by mistrust. As well as the emotional impact of the separation, our client also had serious financial concerns.
Our client believed that their spouse was concealing assets within a business they had started several years earlier. Given the scale of the assets, the financial settlement would require the careful scrutiny of financial disclosure alongside the sensitive handling of an already emotionally difficult dispute.
How our divorce expert helped
Our specialist high-net-worth divorce solicitors forensically analysed the spouse’s financial disclosure, closely examining business accounts and supporting documentation. They challenged inconsistencies while assessing whether suspicions could be upheld in court.
They then advised the client, carefully explaining where concerns could not be substantiated to prevent any unnecessary escalation of costs. They kept the focus on reaching a settlement that would provide long-term financial security for our client.
Following the successful Private Financial Dispute Resolution (pFDR), the divorce settlement provided our client with 85% of the proceeds of the sale of the family home. On top of that, they also received substantive spousal maintenance for 15 years and a pension sharing order, so that retirement income would be the same.
Supporting clients with precision and empathy
This case shows how our London team has a client-focused approach that prioritises and delivers financial security and long-term outcomes.
