Our divorce experts acted for a client following the breakdown of a long marriage. The client had left the family home due to domestic abuse and was living abroad when they contacted our legal team in Reading.
There were significant assets involved, including the family home and a holiday house abroad. The client also wanted to know how pensions are divided in divorce, as the pension was in the spouse’s name. The financial settlement was contested, with the spouse rejecting an initial offer made.
Jo Backwith spoke to the client and developed a clear strategy to protect their financial security while managing the case with care. Given the client’s age and the background to the case, our approach included helping the client build a support network and ensuring they felt supported at each stage. There was a dedicated team working closely with the client throughout the case.
We secured a financial settlement and a cost order due to the other party’s conduct during the proceedings, both of which provided long-term financial security for our client. This helped provide peace of mind and stability following a difficult time. It shows the importance of experience and empathy when dealing with later-life divorce.
This case shows how our family law solicitors support clients through divorce settlements while making sure that their well-being remains at the centre of the process.
