Manchester: Father gains full custody after false abuse allegations

How we helped our client

Becca Reynolds took on the case and set about building a comprehensive body of evidence. That process took time, but it was deliberate. The team gathered a range of reports and assessments, which contributed to a picture that was difficult to ignore in court.

On top of this, the witness who had provided the statement supporting the domestic abuse allegation retracted it entirely, confirming he had been pressured into making it.

The final result was a complete reversal of where things had started. The father was awarded full custody of his daughter, with the mother granted supervised contact twice a month.

The client said:

“My family law matter was an incredibly complex one which was both pro-longed and strewn with uncertainty. Yet the various members of the Stowe team, specifically Becca, gave excellent guidance throughout. 

“I have thus achieved the aims of my case, and all this could not have been achieved without the support and backing of the various professional and talented individuals connected with Stowe Family Law.”
