Janet practises exclusively in family law. She deals with all aspects of family law including children’s cases, the financial consequences of divorce and domestic violence related injunctions.
She has dealt with numerous complex public law children’s cases involving alleged physical, sexual and emotional abuse and frequently acts for parents where the local authority evidence is challenged. She also has substantial experience of handling lengthy and often fraught private law children’s cases. Many of these involve contested allegations of domestic violence or are intractable disputes where one or other parent is hostile and difficult. Janet consequently has lengthy experience of meeting worried and emotional clients and always treats them patiently and sympathetically.
Janet also deals with financial cases involving all forms of ancillary relief ranging from the bigger money case to those involving modest assets and tenancy transfers. She has a lot of experience of cases where there are allegations that one party has failed to disclose all their assets or income.
