When private details of divorces & separations leak out, the impact on the parties’ reputations can be huge: Natasha Grande stresses the importance of keeping it civil
  • When private details of a divorce become public, the impact on divorcees’ lives can be devastating.
  • Greater transparency in the family courts has put the spotlight on the impact which a public divorce can have on a high-profile individual’s reputation.
  • Damage to one’s reputation can influence any financial settlements and agreements made in a divorce.

Someone’s divorce or separation and their reputation are intertwined. There is often a temptation for the other person involved in a divorce to post allegations online or even in the press. If you are divorcing and your divorce will be high-profile, it is important to take early advice from a lawyer who understands how important it is for the impact of this to be taken into consideration.
