Power imbalances

Identifying and managing power imbalances helps create an environment focused on outcome. Imbalance arises from:

• One party having significantly more financial knowledge, resources, or control than the other. 
• Information being withheld throughout a marriage. Where one person has never had visibility of the finances, and the other intends to keep it that way.
• A lack of trust arising from the cause of the breakdown of the marriage
• One party being more prepared for the end of the marriage, and the other feeling outmaneuvered.

We work to level that. We make sure clients understand their position, their rights, and what a fair outcome actually looks like, not just what they've been told to accept. We are direct about strategy, forensic about the numbers, and we don't allow a better-resourced opponent to use delay or complexity as a weapon. Where necessary, we move quickly to secure litigation funding, protective orders and ensure the process is fair from the outset.
