Divorce and Financial Consent Order
From my first conversation with Melanie Hartley to the last over 2-years later, she struck the perfect balance between giving clear, pragmatic and professional advice whilst also showing the kindness and compassion I needed as I went through the most stressful time of my life; going through a divorce whilst raising two young children. Melanie always provided legal advice with clarity, setting out my options (and the financial cost of these) in a way I could process, and was always happy to answer my many questions.
Communication via email was timely and detailed and, when needed, I was able to organise phone calls at a mutually convenient time around my busy work schedule and family life. Melanie worked on my divorce and financial separation, securing my Decree Absolute and court-approved Consent Order, and also provided me with advice on children matters as needed. She also guided me on when to seek external support and advice, such as mediation; her contacts and professional relationship with them made the process much smoother and gave me the reassurance that I was getting sound advice and support.
I cannot thank Melanie enough for all she has done; although of course I have paid for a legal service that I am very happy with, I think it is always the way we are treated as people that stays with us in life. I would highly recommend Melanie, and Rucklidge Law Limited, to anyone.
