Divorce lawyers for celebrities

If you are in the public eye as a sportsperson, performer, or other celebrity, protecting your reputation and assets are of the utmost importance.

The English court has wide ranging powers to make orders sharing assets built up during the marriage and to make orders for ongoing maintenance to the financially weaker party. You will want to ensure that any settlement is fair, and takes into account how your financial position might change over time.

You may also want to protect yourself from adverse publicity surrounding your divorce. Though divorce hearings are held in private, many details can leak to the press, and some parties can use newspapers to try and influence proceedings and public opinion.

If your life has an international element, the country for your divorce to proceed in will be dependent on where you are domiciled and where are habitually resident – and can make a huge difference to the financial settlement.
