Free and informed decisions
I want you to understand the implications of the agreement. I encourage independent legal advice for each person, proper disclosure and sufficient time to consider and negotiate the terms without pressure.
Fairness at the centre
I explain that an agreement must be considered against the circumstances at divorce. I pay particular attention to financial needs and the interests of any children.
A document that anticipates change
I consider appropriate review points with you, such as the arrival of children or a significant change in finances. I approach cross-border issues with care and identify where local advice may be required.
