Stranded spouses by Mani Singh Basi, barrister in London, UK
Cases concerning ‘stranded spouses’ often relate to the relocation of children or to international child abduction.
Handling these cases can involve:
– passport orders
– disclosure orders
– Wardship proceedings, and
– return orders.
Mani Singh Basi, barrister at 4PB, is a specialist in cases with an international element. He regularly appears in the High Court in cases relating to the inherent jurisdiction of the High Court such as child abduction cases and what can be regarded as ‘stranded spouse’ cases.
His expertise has been recognised, as he received the Family Law Commentator of the Year Award at the LexisNexis 2022 Family Law Awards.
In May 2023, his book about the legal issues of ‘stranded spouses’ was published by Law Brief Publishing. In this book Mani discusses the different possible situations, such as spouses who are stranded with the perpetrator, spouses who are stranded with the children and stranded spouses who are separated from the children, using his expertise in both child abduction cases and stranded spouses cases.
The book can be ordered online at Law Brief Publishing.
