He specialises in all aspects of relationship breakdown including issues relating to financial fall-out, contentious Children Act applications, complex applications (often with an international element), and the enforcement of the resulting orders. He also pioneered the use of Production Appointments whereby third parties are compelled to produce documentary evidence if a main party in the divorce proceedings is suspected of hiding assets.
