FAQs

I haven't separated yet, but I am thinking about it. Do I need to be separated before I get legal advice?

You don't need to be separated before you get advice. Many people find it useful to understand what their options might be, if they do decide to make the decision to separate. We are happy to speak to clients about their situation before they have made a final decision about separation. If you think this would benefit you, reach out to Asha here.

What if my former partner ignores my requests for financial disclosure?

Where you have made reasonable enquiries of your partner to provide financial documents, such as bank statements, and they have refused to do so, we may advise you to issue subpoenas for the production of their financial information. Learn more about how the subpoena process works in this article.
