What my clients say

I felt heard and supported as Alice’s client, and she knows her stuff. I have already recommended her.

So lucky to have had Alice at my side throughout this process. She goes above and beyond on a daily basis.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the hard work and dedication you exerted to bring the divorce process to close. This could not have been an easy process and we really appreciate your patience and support extended the entire family

Spouses are 'separated' when one person in the relationship has withdrawn from the relationship without any reasonable prospect of reconciliation or resumption of cohabitation. This means that you can be married and separated at the same time. In fact, in almost all cases, you have to have been separated from your spouse for at least one year before you can divorce. A divorce legally ends the marriage and allows former spouses to remarry.
