    Contentious family work in England covers disputes such as divorce proceedings, child arrangements, financial relief, and specific protection orders, pursued through the Family Court or the High Court where necessary. A solicitor drafts petitions, statements, and affidavits; applies for and resists orders such as injunctions and enforcement measures; negotiates settlements; and represents clients at hearings, including interim applications and final hearings in private law and related financial remedies. This work proceeds within the framework of the Children Act 1989 and the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, among other statutes.

    “Chloe was soo helpful during my custody arrangements/negotiations with my ex partner. She was patient and always said anything needed far better than I could have ever hoped, it was a very difficult time and Chloe helped me stay calm and always allayed any fears I had. Always quick to respond and I was kept fully aware of proceedings. Would highly recommend ”
