It’s a sweltering Friday in lockdown, my work is all done for the day, and I though this might be a fun thing to do while I lie on my sofa drinking an iced coffee and trying not to melt! I’ve seen them done before and they look quite interesting

I’m a fully qualified barrister in London, specialising in private children matters, matrimonial finance, and domestic violence. I’d like to think I’m the proverbial MN Shit Hot Lawyer (TM) but you’d have to ask my clients...

I would be happy to answer any questions you might have - about my job, my experiences of working in family law, etc. I can’t offer specific advice, because so much varies from case to case, but I can certainly try and offer general guidance. Go on, ask my anything!

Hi op, what a fantastic thread.

My high earning ex moved out a couple of years ago and I am unable to work because of a child with SEN. We haven’t started divorce proceedings yet. At some point we will divorce and I will have a share of his pension. Will that be a share of his pension based on when he moved out or the value when we start divorce proceedings? It sounds grabby but I do not believe our child will live a ‘normal’ independent life so if I have to stay married longer to get more from his pension I am happy to do so. Since he moved out he has had a promotion and pay rise anyway.
