Hi, I’m Susan. I'm a SRA-Registered Solicitor who helps separating couples sort out their finances fairly, without unnecessary tension -so they can move on with their lives on good terms.
Because how you divorce matters - not just for now but for all the future family events to come.
..I don't believe the end of a marriage should mean years of family conflict.
I know that for many couples, especially those with children, the way they separate will affect the future far more than their finances. It can shape family relationships for years to come.
That's why I work with couples together, helping them reach fair financial agreements without making an already difficult situation harder than it needs to be.
Some couples come to me knowing roughly how they'd like to divide things. Others aren't sure what's fair yet.
Either is absolutely fine.
I'll work with you both to understand your financial situation, explain what needs to be considered and help you work out what a fair settlement could look like for the two of you.
Where there are difficult conversations to be had and decisions to be made, I'll help you work through them together. I'll help keep things as frictionless as possible.
And once you've reached an agreement, I'll make sure it's properly documented and turned into a legally binding Consent Order.
I’m so grateful to you for all you have done for us. The outcome would have been very different without you.

Instead of each of you instructing a separate solicitor and communicating through them, I'll work with both of you together through one clear, structured process.
We'll look at your financial situation together, including your home, pensions, savings, income and future needs.
So before you make any decisions, you both understand what needs to be considered.
I'll explain the legal principles that apply to your circumstances and help you understand what a fair settlement could look like for the two of you.
If there are things you're unsure about or don't agree on, I'll help you work through them together.
3. You reach an agreement together
No passing proposals backwards and forwards between two separate solicitors. You're both part of the same process.
Once you understand the options, I'll help you turn those decisions into an agreement that works for both of you.
4. We make it legally binding
Once you've reached an agreement, I'll prepare the paperwork needed to turn it into a legally binding, court-approved Consent Order.
So when it's done, it's properly done.
Susan has been a fantastic help in sorting our financial Consent Order. The advice and assistance she gave has been invaluable.
She has acted in both our interests and provided great advice to us both. I cannot recommend her enough...thank you Susan.

Years from now, there will still be school plays, birthdays, weddings and perhaps grandchildren to celebrate.
You may no longer be married, but you'll both want to be part of those occasions.
How you divorce now can make those future family occasions so much easier.
That's why I work with couples together, helping you sort out your finances fairly, without making an already difficult situation harder than it needs to be.
Susan made the whole process easier and more transparent for us both. We stayed amicable, felt supported every step of the way, and avoided the stress and expense of two separate lawyers.
I can’t recommend her highly enough.

There are two ways I can help, depending on how far you've already got.
“We need help working out what's fair.”
For couples who want to reach an agreement together but need help understanding what's fair and working through the decisions.
I'll guide you both through the process - from understanding your financial position and what the law considers fair, through to reaching an agreement and getting everything properly documented.
£1,750 each / £3,500 per couple
(Out of interest, the average cost of hiring two separate solicitors to help you agree a financial settlement: £7,000-£15,000+ and Court proceedings: £20,000+)
“We've reached an agreement.”
For couples who've already worked out how they want to divide their finances and want a solicitor to check the agreement and formalise it properly.
I'll review what you've agreed, explain any issues you need to consider and prepare the documents needed to make your agreement legally binding.
£1,250 each / £2,500 per couple
“We've agreed everything. We just need it made legally binding."
For couples who have already reached a full agreement, understand what they've dividing, and don't need legal advice on whether it's fair. I'll take the agreement you've reached and prepare the paperwork the court needs to approve it. That means your Consent Order, the supporting court forms and, if the judge has questions, a written explanation of your agreement. Please note: whilst this service doesn't include advice on whether your agreement is fair, if I notice anything that could cause a problem with court approval, I'll tell you.

"Thank you so much for making this happen.
I'm very happy that we have finally got to an amicable agreement.
It's all quite overwhelming. I've just been taking in the finality of it all, over this weekend.
Again, thank you for your efforts and your patience. You got it done! "

Yes. If you both want to deal with your divorce finances openly and constructively, I can work with you together through one shared process.
I'll provide legal guidance to you both, help you understand what needs to be considered and support you in reaching a fair agreement together.
If at any point I believe that working together is no longer appropriate, I'll tell you.
Helping you arrive at a fair outcome for both of you is my priority.
But fair doesn't necessarily mean splitting everything 50/50 for every couple.
What's fair depends on your particular circumstances - including things like your housing needs, income, pensions, children, future needs and the assets available.
I'll help you both understand the legal principles that apply and what a fair outcome could look like in your circumstances, so you can make informed decisions together.
It is normal if discussions between you both have been difficult up until now.
My role is to help you work through those sticking points calmly, explain what is fair in legal terms, and keep discussions constructive.
In fact, every couple I've worked with through this process has been able to reach an agreement.
Of course, every situation is different. If it became clear that a joint approach was no longer the right route for you, I would say so honestly and explain the next sensible steps.
If you want your financial agreement to be legally binding, then yes.
Your divorce itself doesn't automatically bring your financial claims against each other to an end.
A Consent Order records the financial agreement you've reached and, once approved by the court, makes it legally binding.
I'll prepare the Consent Order and the accompanying court paperwork for you as part of the process.
For most couples, no.
Court is usually the most adversarial and expensive route. It can take years and significantly increase conflict.
Where both partners are willing to be transparent and constructive, reaching agreement together is typically simpler, faster and far more cost-effective.
6. What about mediation?
Mediation can work well for some couples.
However, mediators cannot provide legal advice or draft the legally binding documents required for court approval.
My service combines structured legal guidance with preparation of the formal documents - so your agreement is both fair and legally binding.
7. What does 'Freelance Solicitor' mean?
I am a SRA-regulated solicitor (SRA Number 8013506) who practises independently rather than through a traditional law firm.
That means you work directly with me throughout the process.
I'm regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and must follow the professional rules and standards that apply to my work.
📩 Ready to find out if this could work for the two of you?
If you want to sort out your divorce finances fairly and as amicably as possible, the next step is a free introductory call with me.
We'll talk about where you've got to, what you need help with and how my process works.
There's no obligation to go any further. It's simply a chance to ask your questions, understand your options and decide whether working with me feels right for you both.
