When your spouse is controlling over the finances: Mrs S’s story

By Rhiannon Ford
controlling over the finances

Mrs S’s husband took her by surprise when he told her he wanted a divorce. She explained to me that she was keen to get support and guidance for her divorce, as her ‘spouse is controlling over finances‘.

He was also moving at top speed having already instructed an estate agent to value the family home.

She was feeling rushed to get on board with his decision and needed advice about her options and next steps.

Her husband was putting her under pressure to agree to a financial settlement he had decided upon.

She has kindly agreed to share her story about the work we are doing together.

When divorce comes out of the blue.

What was going on for you that prompted you to get in

touch with Rhiannon in the first place?

“My husband told me he was divorcing me out of the blue. It took me by surprise, and I didn’t really know what my next steps should be, prompting me to contact Rhiannon.”

Understanding the legal process.

What in particular did you want help with when you first started working with Rhiannon?

“I had no understanding of the divorce process, what to consider or where to begin. My initial need was to get an understanding of what I should be doing, and all the different things that I needed to consider and how to navigate myself through the process.”

What did you find most helpful about working with Rhiannon in the early stages of your separation/divorce?

“Rhiannon really helped me understand the whole divorce process. I felt lost before speaking to her, but she helped make sense of what I needed to do and think about.”

How has working with Rhiannon helped you during the legal process of your divorce?

“Rhiannon has been great. She explained things to me in the most basic terms so that I fully understand the legal side of things. It’s taken a great deal of stress and guesswork away for me.”

Finding the right solicitor for the client.

What have been any other benefits of working with Rhiannon?

“It was via Rhiannon I found my solicitor – I didn’t even know how or where to look for a good one. Rhiannon has saved me solicitors costs, as I’ve been over to go through queries with her. She’s provided clear guidance every step of the way.”

Help and support throughout your divorce.

What would you say to someone considering getting a divorce as to how Rhiannon might be able to help them?

“Rhiannon will guide you through this difficult process. There is so much to it, and some of it you wouldn’t even think of. Rhiannon thinks of it for you. I would be totally lost without her help and support during my divorce!”
