Sarah Peters and Jennifer Gray supported a husband through his complicated high-net-worth financial settlement. The divorcing couple owned a family home in North London and a rental property nearby. Their children were at private school.
The husband’s income fluctuated and he didn’t have a pension. The wife, on the other hand, had a steady job and a pension. The difference in finances meant it was important to think carefully about long-term planning and the need to maintain stability for child arrangements.
How our lawyers helped
Sarah and Jennifer are both experienced divorce specialists who often work with high-net-worth clients. They were calm and thorough in their approach when considering the irregular income, housing needs, and school costs.
They worked to find a balanced and practical solution that ensured stability for the children. Through careful negotiation, they supported the husband in reaching a fair financial settlement.
The divorce settlement meant the wife could stay in the family home until their youngest child was an adult under a 12-year Mesher arrangement. The husband was able to keep the second property nearby.
The husband continued to pay school fees, with an agreement that he would get half the costs back from the wife’s share of the family home when it was sold. This meant the children could continue their education without the worry of moving schools.
