Challenging 10 year Joint Life Spousal Maintenance Order

5

I got divorced 10 years ago and was required to pay spousal maintenance on a joint lives basis together with child maintenance. Due to the capital settlement, my ex wife is living in a large 6 bedroom house and I am currently living in a 2 bedroom house. Given this disparity in the standard of living I needed to challenge the original order in court. I approached TG Baynes at the back end of 2022 to help resolve the issue. Throughout the process, I have been very impressed with this firm especially Karen Ioannou who really assisted and persevered in getting a fair consent order in place just before the FDR.

Karen Ioannou - highly recommended Children’s Solicitor

5

Karen dealt with my daughter’s case in a very professional manner. With her legal knowledge and experience in children’s cases, she listened and answered my many questions. Karen helped us cope with a very stressful and difficult situation having to attend court. Not living nearby to the office I was able to contact Karen by telephone and email. My daughter and I were very pleased and relieved with the successful outcome going in my daughter’s favour.
