Summary

After years of delay, SKB Law secured a final divorce and financial order, obtained protective measures, and successfully pursued enforcement to bring the matter to a conclusion.

The challenge

Divorce proceedings had stalled for many years because the other party avoided service abroad. There were also serious safety concerns, including threats and intimidation.

Previous attempts to resolve the matter had been unsuccessful.

The SKB Way

We took firm and strategic action.

We:

  • Arranged personal service abroad
  • Applied for a Non-Molestation Order to protect our client
  • Ensured documents were served at the appropriate opportunity
  • Progressed the financial case to a final hearing
  • Pursued enforcement proceedings where necessary

Outcome

  • A final financial order was made
  • Costs were awarded
  • Enforcement action secured compliance
  • The long-running matter was finally resolved

What this case shows

  • Even long-delayed cases can be concluded
  • Protective orders are vital where safety is at risk
  • Strategic persistence achieves results
