Saika Alam

My practice covers the whole range of family law matters for both married and unmarried couples. I specialise in resolving financial disputes both through the court process and by negotiation including through Collaborative Family Law. I can deal with financial applications through the court in England where a marriage was dissolved abroad.  I draft and negotiate cohabitation agreements and pre and post nuptial agreements. I also deal with the preparation of trust deeds for couples or other family members buying properties in unequal shares. I also represent parents and children in property disputes between them.

I deal with disputes involving children and represent clients on applications to the court for child arrangements orders, specific issue orders and prohibited steps orders. I also deal with the enforcement of such orders to include seek and locate orders (which require the police to find missing children and return them to the parent with care.) I can deal with relocation cases where one parent wants to go abroad with the children to live on a permanent basis and I have successfully dealt with the return of children who have been kept abroad without the consent of the court or other parent.

I represent clients in domestic abuse cases. This includes making urgent applications to the court for non-molestation and occupation orders. I also represent clients who are on the receiving end of such applications and who require urgent representation at short notice.

The service I provide is both personal and pragmatic.  I will not encourage you to pursue a hopeless application. If it is possible to reach a satisfactory outcome by negotiation, then I will support you in reaching such an outcome.  If that is not possible then I am proactive in progressing any court application and I will advise and assist you through that process.

I offer a half-hour consultation for which I do not make a charge so that you can get to know me before making any kind of financial commitment and I can get to know you.  Dealing with relationship breakdown is not easy. With my many years of practice I understand that a client’s experience of any court or other formal legal process is better managed by a good working relationship with their family lawyer.
