A YORK legal firm has set up a free helpline for people concerned about the impact of the UK’s vote to leave the EU on the financial side of divorce arrangements.

Paradigm Family Law, which has a dedicated international family law department headed by managing partner Frank Arndt, said since the referendum vote it had seen a number of inquiries “coming in from clients concerned about the implications for them and their financial claims on divorce.

“These inquiries have included clients going through the process already, or contemplating a separation or divorce where they live, here or abroad.

“We have also encountered those who already have a final order from the court, often a consent order, which as a result of the referendum result may no longer provide the same financial security that it did before the decision to leave the EU was made.”

The firm has decided to offer a free helpline for those wishing to stress test their financial orders, or position on divorce.

Mr Arndt said: “The impact of the Brexit vote will have long-lived effects for many areas of international and domestic law.”

Paradigm is offering a free initial consultation and will advise on the latest currently available information relevant to the case.
