Recommendations for Divorce Solicitor Manchester

[Rhinosaur]

I’m look for any recommendations for an aggressive top notch divorce solicitor in the Manchester area. Has anyone got any personal recommendations? Cheers

Hi there - I just went to type a similar query- I wondered if you ever settled on a solicitor and if you could recommend? TIA

Otten Penna. Fantastic experience so far!

Jane Tenquist Myersons, fantastic!
Quick, efficient, very experienced. Worth every penny x

My advice is to stop with the “agressive” pursuit and inform yourself on how divorce settlements are made. The courts use a set of 10 or so criteria to determine if fair before 50:50 comes into play . unless you are exceptionally wealthy that there is massive wealth after those 10 criteria, it will not make a jot of difference how aggressive you or your solicitor are. It’ll make a lot of difference to the solicitors you both involve who will laugh all the way to the bank as you aggressively debate every point as you are actually making yourself even poorer.

3 other points if you don’t know already

1. behaviour has no bearing whatsoever on a financial settlement except in the absolute most extreme and criminal circumstances


2. not disclosing all financial assets is a legal offence - the courts take an extremely dim view on that when deciding settlement …so if you are concerned he is hiding assets the law is there to ensure that he can’t without the need for aggression.


3. If this aggressive stance is not financially driven but because of childcare issue remember that your stbex is their father. No matter what his behaviour is Only they have their relationship with him. Trying to influence their feelings towards him , good or bad, will almost certainly not work out how you think it should. If you want the court to make a welfare decision you need to do that with logical and reasoned arguments and facts, not aggression.

Aggressive is a good thing for cage fighters not for lawyers. They need to be professional and experienced to deal with your case.

Like a pp mentions, unless there are exceptional circumstances the outcome is generally pretty much defined by statute and the facts.

Exceptional issues could be, an awful lot of money especially if tied up in businesses, health issues associated with either party or the children, or abuse. In this case look for someone with experience of these types of cases.
