Divorce is classed as one of the top two most stressful life events which is why it’s important to find ways to make the process as straightforward as possible. As a family law barrister, Andrew Nixon is regularly briefed in all forms of financial remedy work including without notice and contested injunctions. Noted for his preparation and attention to detail, he provides advice and representation in a broad range of cohabitation, civil partnership and marriage cases.
His cases involving limited intangible assets, including bankruptcy cases, have afforded him an experience which complements that which he has gained from his complex and substantial financial provision cases. Andrew’s clients are reassured by his approach which is characterised as attempting to secure a practical and cost-effective resolution to the financial issues, whilst respecting that for some clients there is sometimes an emotive need to be heard on an issue and to litigate.
Cohabitation finances, financial remedy and financial order work that Andrew can advise and assist with are as follows:
- Financial issues relating to Civil Partnership, Marriage, Cohabitation and Engagement
- TOLATA – The Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 allows the courts power to resolve ownership of land or property disputes
- Proprietary Estoppel – This legal claim is connected to English land law and relates to disputed transfers of property ownership
- Concealment – The act of intentionally failing to disclose information that would otherwise affect the terms of a contract
- Dissipation of Assets – The unjustified depletion of marital assets via excessive spending
- Companies and Business Assets
