Rebecca’s work
Financial matters on divorce
Rebecca represented a client in a complex financial matter where the husband issued court proceedings following a long period of separation. The husband’s engagement in the process was poor, which required several enforcement applications, including a committal application, to ensure all the necessary documentation and information was provided to enable the court to fully consider the issues at hand. The court ultimately granted an order to dismiss the husband’s financial remedy application- a highly punitive and uncommon order, resulting in the case reaching a successful conclusion.
Children matter
Rebecca acted in a complex private law children matter representing a parent through the court process where there were serious welfare and safeguarding concerns surrounding the relationship of one parent to the children, who was unrepresented, as well as abuse allegations between the parents involved, which required a Fact Finding Hearing. The police, social services and CAFCASS were the agencies involved for the purpose of carrying out investigations. Findings of abuse were made following which an appeal was issued and considered by the court. A re-hearing of the case was ordered due to the Judge’s handling of the case, not the evidence presented, and thus the case was brought to a successful conclusion with the necessary parties being protected.
