My spouse is sharing private details to the press, what can I do to stop them?

Divorcing is not easy. It can be even harder if your partner is sharing details with the press. Seeing stories about yourself can be highly upsetting, especially if they are only showing one side of the story – and even worse if that side is not true. Vardags are used to working with clients who are in the public eye and managing the publicity surrounding divorce.

Ordinarily, family proceedings are held in private but for high value cases in the High Court, this can be dispensed with by a judge, allowing the press and the public in. Moving your case to arbitration (a form of private court) gives you complete control over who is allowed in and ensure that proceedings are completely private. It may also be possible to obtain injunctions preventing your spouse from sharing some, or all, of the details of your life with the press.

Sometimes it is important to get your story across in order to protect your reputation. This has to be managed carefully, to ensure you do not breach the rules of the court or prejudice your case. Vardags can help you manage the press and engage with the publicity your divorce attracts.
