Divorce and Ancillary Relief
Deans Court Chambers stands out in the field of ancillary relief for the experience and skill of its practitioners in dealing with disputes arising from relationship breakdown with substantial assets, family businesses, pensions, share options, corporate and other trust structures of both a domestic and international nature. Our members are regularly instructed in cases involving parties of high net worth.
We know that, in the uncertain world of ancillary relief, clients seek as much certainty as is achievable. We are experienced in advising on and drafting pre-nuptial and cohabitation agreements as well as post-nuptial agreements and deeds of separation.
Specialist Ancillary relief practitioners at Deans Court take a practical approach and recognise the importance of enforcement. Our team is experienced at preserving assets by means of section 37 injunctions, worldwide freezing orders (Mareva injunctions) and search orders (Anton Pillar orders) and enforcing court orders by judgement summons and other means.
Members undertake work in relation to the dissolution of civil partnerships and consequent financial relief. Though increasingly rare, we act in contested divorce and nullity cases. We also undertake work in applications for financial provision for children under Schedule 1 to the Children Act 1989.
The basis upon which we undertake this work is set out in our Terms for Ancillary Relief Work.
