Career History

Recent Cases
I advise on all aspects of family law including:
- Divorce
- Financial matters following separation or divorce
- Making arrangements for children
- Cohabitation Agreements
- Enforcement of Orders following non-compliance
- Financial Provision for Children
- Pre and Post Nuptial Agreements
- Separation Agreements
- Disputes regarding children
- Applications for urgent protection orders (including non-molestation and occupation orders)
- Child Relocation
- Child Abduction
I am often instructed to make urgent applications concerning children, such as where a child is withheld following contact with one parent.
Having experienced working in the matrimonial, conveyancing and dispute resolution teams during my traineeship, I have been able to use the knowledge gained to advise clients where there is a crossover, such as a property transfer arising from a financial order on divorce or making enforcement applications for non-compliance with court orders.
I am a firm believer in resolving disputes and work with my clients to seek to settle issues at an early stage where possible.
I am a member of Resolution. (Resolution members are committed to promoting a constructive approach to family issues that considers the needs of the whole family.)
I like to stay up to date with new developments in the law and I enjoy researching new and topical issues.
What makes me human
In my spare time you will often find me in the shopping centre, out for a run (begrudgingly!), in the kitchen, and spending as much time as possible with my family and friends. I have a strange mix of hobbies - I am a keen crafter, football fan and I love a weekend break!
"My ex is refusing to mediate but I do not want to spend money on legal fees, what can I do?"
As family solicitors, this is something we hear frustratingly often. Believe it or not, we would prefer your disputes to be sorted outside of a court process which is lengthy and costly for you both. But what can you do when the other person simply will not engage?

Ms Pope dealt with our case with the utmost care, attention to detail and professionalism. She provided an absolutely first class service on behalf of Neves Solicitors LLP and indeed, succeeded where not one, but two previous solictors firms had failed! As such we cannot recommend them highly enough! Ms Pope was extremely diligent and provided excellent frequent contact and communication, taking the time to explain relevant procedures and requirements at every step of the process. Through her hard work we were able to bring to a close matters that had been dragging on for years with a very positive result. We cannot thank her enough! Great work.
