Divorce settlements can be among the most challenging legal matters, particularly when the family home and the welfare of children are at stake. Our role is to guide clients through these situations with clarity, compassion, and a focus on achieving fair and sustainable outcomes.
We recently acted for a client in divorce settlement negotiations with an unrepresented spouse. The central issue was the future of the family home, which was jointly owned. At the outset, it appeared the property would need to be sold, forcing our client and their child to move and downsize significantly. Understandably, this was a major concern.
Through careful negotiation, we secured a reduced lump sum payment to the other party. This enabled our client to re-mortgage the property in their sole name and retain the home, avoiding the disruption of a sale. The agreement also ensured stability for the child, preserving their living environment, education, and community ties.
By taking a constructive and respectful approach, we were able to resolve the matter without contested court proceedings. This reduced both the emotional and financial strain on the family, while ensuring the outcome was fair for both parties.
Our client expressed deep appreciation for the guidance and support provided, noting the relief of being able to remain in the family home and protect their child’s future.
