Schedule 1 (Children Act 1989)
Financial analysis and expert evidence for Schedule 1 claims for financial provision for children.
Schedule 1 proceedings require forensic accounting analysis of a parent's financial resources, income, and capital, often involving business interests and complex income structures. Matrimonial Forensic Accountant provides expert evidence on the paying parent's ability to meet housing and maintenance claims, including analysis of income, capital, and trust structures.
We address the same forensic issues that arise in financial remedy proceedings but in the context of claims for financial provision for children, including periodical payments, lump sums for housing, and trust arrangements.
Typical instructions include income analysis for high earners with complex remuneration, business valuation where the paying parent controls trading entities, and lifestyle analysis where declared resources are inconsistent with expenditure.
