Overview

Jonathan’s practice focuses particularly on disputes following separation and divorce, both financial and about children, including matters such as where the children will live, how often they will see the parent with whom they don’t live, schooling, health matters and relocations.

He also has a busy practice in international children law, regularly appearing in the High Court in child abduction proceedings, both Hague and non-Hague and wardship proceedings. Jonathan has particular expertise in ‘stranded spouse’ cases and is instructed for parents in leave to remove applications to both Hague and non-Hague countries.

In his spare time, Jonathan enjoys playing and watching most sports, particularly cricket and football. He also plays the bassoon.
