Kate regularly advises in cases involving children matters including parental arrangements, parental responsibility, schooling, matters in which there are safeguarding issues and internal and external relocation.

Kate encourages, wherever possible, negotiated and agreed solutions that focus on minimising conflict and consider the needs of the whole family, in particular, the best interests of children. Kate focuses on the strategic issues in each case to help parties find workable long-term solutions that help them to move forward with their lives. Clients have confidence in Kate’s detailed approach, her supportive nature and her determination to achieve the best result for them.

It was Kate’s dedication to finding an alternative route through divorce and separation that compelled her to train as a mediator in 2019.
