Managed complex immigration ramifications of an acrimonious marriage breakdown

The Challenges Faced

Client A, a US citizen, faced complex immigration challenges following an acrimonious marriage breakdown with his wife, Mrs B, also a US citizen. Mrs B held a senior sponsored work visa in the UK, with Client A and their children as her dependants. The couple separated but remained in the marital home, with slow-moving family court proceedings complicating matters. Key difficulties included Client A’s poor compliance with instructions due to health issues, negotiations with Mrs B’s uncooperative immigration solicitors regarding the children’s settlement applications, and coordinating the timing of Client A’s immigration application with family court hearings on child and financial arrangements, as his application under Appendix FM required the children’s settlement.
