Sarah Duckworth.

• Sarah has recent experience of cases involving substantial assets, income and pensions.
• Sarah has worked recently for both wives and husbands where the question arises as to whether a wife who has stayed at home caring for children could or should go out to work. This is an area of family law which is evolving quickly and good advice is essential for either party.
• Sarah has also worked on cases where the assets are not high but these can be the most difficult to resolve sensibly and to find a way forward which meets housing and income needs for both parties and the children.
• Sarah has recently been involved in cases involving disputes about children such as the living arrangements for the children and permanent removal from the jurisdiction.
• Sarah also has recent experience of drafting pre marriage agreements, co-habitation agreements, separation of co-habiting couples, and dissolution of civil partnerships/same sex marriages

Outside of the office Sarah works on establishing   “balance” in  her life and enjoys   dog walking, cycling, gardening, trying to paint (in the artistic sense rather than DIY), yoga.

Sarah is married (but has been divorced) and has three children so she really does understand and empathise with the issues parents face when their relationship is ending and the needs of the children.

Before training as a lawyer Sarah worked in publishing and the fashion industry so she has life experience outside of the legal world which she feels helps her as a family lawyer.
