Making choices about your Islamic Divorce Panel meeting

After dealing with Islamic Divorce matters for many years, I have come to know that the most common worry for my clients is the thought of going to a “meeting” with the Islamic Divorce panel.

Before talking to me, it is not a surprise that clients think the worst. They believe their ex- partner will be at the meeting or that the panel may form an unfair decision against them. Unfortunately such worries are not unjust. There is plenty of negative information available about unethical Islamic Divorce panels - because the truth is they do exist!

What do I say to my clients?

When my clients asks if their worries can become a reality, my response is always “not here at Winston Solicitors”. At Winston Solicitors we use a carefully chosen Islamic Divorce panel who understand the importance of a Muslim woman’s right to request a divorce. We do not use a panel who would force a woman to stay in an unhappy marriage.

Keeping it confidential

A huge advantage for my clients is that they can go to the panel meeting alone without their ex-partner being there. This allows my clients to have the opportunity to be open and honest about their feelings and their own situation. It is in contrast with the majority of panels where parties would be required to attend together.

The advantage of technology

Did you know it is not necessary to attend the panel meeting in person?

This is because Winston Solicitors is one of a small number of firms that has the advantage of arranging the Islamic Divorce panel meeting by video call.

Presenting your case

Once the meeting has started the panel will ask questions and allow an applicant to present her case. The meeting allows my clients to put forward any additional information that is important to their situation.

You have choices when you need to use an Islamic Divorce panel. When you instruct an experienced Islamic divorce solicitor you can be reassured that your panel meeting will be as smooth and simple as you wish.

Client feedback

Wendy Campbell supported me throughout my divorce, firstly with financial settlements and then again with family matters regarding children. I can't thank her enough and would recommend to anyone who finds themselves in this position. Thank you. - September 2025

I moved my divorce to Teresa and Judith from another solicitor that I did not have confidence in and what a difference. Their sensitivity and understanding got me through one of the worst times of my life. Their guidance, support and knowledge through the whole drawn out process is so appreciated. Together we managed to achieve a fair settlement. Teresa and Judith absolutely know what they are doing. I cannot recommend them enough.

Outstanding Legal Support from Start to Finish:From my initial call to the resolution of my case, the firm and its staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism and care. I would particularly like to commend Mrs Harriet Reid, a family solicitor whose dedication and expertise were instrumental in achieving a successful outcome.Despite having less than ten days to prepare, Mrs Reid devoted considerable time and attention to my case. Her legal knowledge, strategic insight, and empathetic approach were of the highest calibre. She displayed remarkable skill in preparing the case for my counsel, ensuring every detail was meticulously addressed.If I ever require legal representation again, I know exactly where to turn.

Teresa and Judith assisted with my recent divorce and i cannot rate them highly enough, i was talked through every aspect and everything was explained in full and i was kept fully updated and imformed of everything that i needed to do and when it was required for. Their patience when i was working away and understanding was especially appreciated.Once that was all complete Amanda and Samantha and the convayensing team sorted the transfer of the house and the paperwork associated with that.I would highly recommend them and thier company for any legal issues you have and would use thier services again without hesitation.
