Client 1: Dominique Arnold

Lawrence and Dominique have been together for 10 years but never married. They have one child together, Daniel, who is 6 years old. Lawrence has recently become violent towards both Dominique and Daniel. Dominique thinks his violence is due to the fact he has been taking illegal substances. Last week, Lawrence told Dominique that he has met someone new and wants her to leave the house, but that Daniel can stay. The tenancy for the house is in Lawrence’s name, but Dominique always paid for the rent. Lawrence says that Dominique has no right to stay in the property and says when she leaves she can only take her clothes with her and nothing else. Dominique is concerned about leaving Daniel with Lawrence. She is also upset as there is property in the house that she bought before they were together. Dominique also says that she bought most of the property in the house, such as the TV, sofa and kitchen equipment. 

Client 2: Bashir Rafique

Bashir and Molly have been married for 18 years and are now divorcing. They met during university and married not long after graduating. They have three children together, Toni (14), Andrew (10) and Ricky (6). When Molly become pregnant they agreed that she would stay at home to look after the children whilst Bashir would go out to work. Bashir is now a successful architect who owns his own business, earning in excess of £1 million per year. He was able to start the business using the £250,000 that was left to Molly when her grandmother died. Between them they have £5 million assets, which were generated solely through Bashir’s career. Since the split, Molly has secured employment on the other side of the country near where her parents live and wants to move there with the children. Bashir does not want this to happen.
