Our Core Services
Financial Relief After an Overseas Divorce
(Section 13 — Matrimonial and Family Proceedings Act 1984 / Schedule 7 — Civil Partnership Act 2004)
If you’ve been divorced abroad but did not receive fair financial provision, English courts may offer a solution. We represent clients in applications for permission to apply for financial relief under Section 13 MFPA 1984 and Schedule 7 CPA 2004. Whether it involves property, spousal maintenance, or business assets, we ensure you receive the settlement you deserve under UK law.
Part III Applications — Matrimonial and Family Proceedings Act 1984
A foreign divorce settlement that fails to meet your financial needs can be revisited in the UK under Part III of the MFPA 1984. Our team specializes in:
- Evaluating the viability of Part III claims,
- Representing you in the High Court to seek fair financial remedies, and
- Navigating complex issues involving multi-jurisdictional assets, offshore trusts, and high-value estates.
We protect your financial interests with strategies tailored to international families and expatriates.
Custody & International Child Arrangements
When children are involved, cross-border disputes become even more sensitive. We provide comprehensive advice and representation in:
- Child Arrangement Orders (where the child lives and with whom they spend time),
- International child relocation cases,
- Child abduction and Hague Convention applications, and
- Resolving parental disputes across multiple legal systems.
At every step, our focus remains on achieving solutions that safeguard the best interests of the child.
