Jennifer Lee successfully argues that Separation Agreement should be upheld

Jennifer Lee has successfully persuaded a Court in divorce and financial remedy proceedings that the parties, who were married for many years, should be held to the separation agreement they entered into some 25 years ago. Jennifer Lee appeared for the applicant wife. The respondent husband had sought to argue that some, if not all, of the separation agreement should not be upheld. The husband had also refused to engage with the petition for divorce. The Court was entirely satisfied that the parties had indeed entered into a concluded separation agreement, the terms of which should now be made into an order, and thus be binding on the parties. Jennifer was also successful in obtaining a number of cost orders against the husband, in respect of all of the wife’s divorce and financial remedy costs.
