Gerald has over 30 years of experience and has specialised exclusively in children and financial remedy work since 1999. Gerald’s medical background is also helpful where health issues feature.

Every case brings its own complexities and Gerald always explores every avenue to achieve the right outcome for his client. His experience and calm approach means he is able to reassure clients in the pressured environment of court and he always aims to communicate early and often with solicitor clients.

Over the years, Gerald has gained a great deal of knowledge in respect of financial remedy and private children law court disputes. He also accepts instructions in private FDR’s and DRA’s, providing an excellent opportunity to achieve tailored and practical solutions in difficult circumstances. Gerald is also able to take instructions under the Direct Public Access scheme.

Reputation

Gerald now has more than 30 years experience as a barrister and has practised exclusively in family law since 1999.

Expertise

With substantial experience in financial remedy proceedings, Gerald has acted for clients across a broad range of backgrounds and circumstances. Clients include but are not limited to farmers, business owners, people lacking capacity, stay at home spouses and other family members seeking to preserve their share in the married couple’s assets. In recent times, Gerald has also seen a huge increase of cases in which there is a focus on non-matrimonial assets (such as inheritances and pensions.)

Gerald has a similarly broad experience of ‘lives with’ and ‘spends time with’ children cases and, in particular, has acted in parental alienation cases, overseas and domestic relocation cases as well as in domestic abuse cases.

Gerald will help with advice and/or representation as much or as little is required whether from the very start, before proceedings even start, or meeting the client for the first time at the hearing. Gerald’s experience means that he will be able to give sound advice and representation in any situation.

Notable Cases

H v W (2026): A matrimonial finance case in which H successfully sought to avoid a post nuptial agreement for reason of unfairness of its terms and lack of disclosure by W.

H v W (2026): A matrimonial finance case in which W sought financial remedy orders after an overseas divorce. H successfully defended the application on the basis that W had failed to declare a subsequent overseas remarriage.

F v GP (2026): A sensitive children case in which the biological father of one child sought ‘lives with’ orders for both children following the death of the children’s mother.

H v W (2026): A matrimonial finance case in which H represented himself. W successfully established that H was under-declaring his income and achieved an award in the terms of her open proposals.

F v M (2025): A children case in which advice and representation was provided to F, who was trying to re-instate contact with his child after failed input from ICFA within the constraints of a tight budget.
