Our client had first instructed another family law firm to deal with their divorce, but after becoming unhappy with the progress of the case, approached our experienced divorce lawyers in Windsor for support.
By the time we took over, our client had completed their financial disclosure forms and provided supporting documents. Their spouse hadn’t offered full financial disclosure and was starting to raise difficulties around the proposed child arrangements.
The client spoke to Jo Backwith, an experienced divorce financial settlement solicitor and Partner for North Hampshire and Berkshire. Jo understood that the client’s main concern was the financial security of the children, including paying their school fees.
Our approach was to reframe discussions to agree on practical outcomes for the children and finances. The client sought mediation, which allowed us to work towards an overall financial settlement, including ongoing payment of the children’s school fees, and clear and workable child arrangements.
The divorce mediation was successful, with our client’s spouse accepting the proposals put forward. This included a financial settlement, and we prepared a formal consent order to reflect the agreement reached in mediation, which included the funding for the children’s private education. Our approach meant agreeing on the divorce settlement out-of-court.
This case is an example of how our expert divorce solicitors help clients achieve successful and cost-effective outcomes through divorce mediation.
