Milton Keynes: International financial settlement secured

Holding the other side to account

Our client was guided through years of proceedings by Helen Taylor. The approach was methodical, combining legal expertise with a clear-eyed understanding of what our client needed to feel secure.

Helen worked closely with our in-house forensic accountants, who produced a detailed schedule setting out the deficiencies in the husband’s financial disclosure. This gave the court a clear, evidenced picture of where the gaps lay.

From there, we took decisive steps to protect our client’s position. We successfully applied for a Legal Services Payment Order, and secured an Interim Maintenance Order, putting interim financial provision in place and giving our client a degree of stability while the wider settlement was resolved.

Where the husband failed to meet his obligations, we made the necessary court applications to hold him to account, which was reflected in the costs order the court awarded against him, recognising the additional work his conduct had caused.

Helen went on to say:

“It was a highly complex case with an extremely difficult other party, but it was a pleasure to help support and guide a lovely client through the process.”
