If we're to believe reports from the media, as soon as
life gets back to ‘normal' divorce lawyers will be

Wells, Family Law expert and Head of the
Entrepreneurial Wealth team at Taylor Vinters, shares what

It's true that for some couples, lockdown is exacerbating
an already challenging domestic situation. Reported reasons for

whose Zoom meeting or home working should take priority to more
abusive or controlling behaviour. Differing attitudes towards COVID
risks, keeping to the regulations and the impact on vulnerable
relations have also been cited as the final straw.
