About Beverley
I am an experienced family lawyer, specialising in children related matters.
I have expertise in dealing with complex child arrangements following family break up, including acting for grandparents. I also represent parents in leave to remove cases, where one parent wishes to live abroad with the children or elsewhere in the UK.
I have a particular interest in surrogacy arrangements. I can assist and advise parents through the process of applying for a parental order or advising during the fertility process.
I am regularly involved in child abduction cases, both representing the left behind parent or the parent who has removed the children from their place of habitual residence.
I also advise and assist clients through the divorce/civil partnership dissolution process including settlement of the financial aspects of separation, whether that be via non-court dispute resolution or through the court process. This includes separation involving couples who are not married.
In addition, I draft cohabitation agreements for unmarried clients who are planning to live together.
As a team we firmly believe in trying to deal with matters as amicably as possible, as the situation surrounding family breakdown is already difficult enough.
