The Honourable Mrs Justice Jennifer Roberts, who presided over some of England’s most high-profile divorce cases and has died aged 71, was known both on and off the bench as an elegant master of her craft. Within weeks of being appointed to the family division of the High Court in 2014, Roberts, known as Jenny, was handed one of the biggest-ever “money” divorce disputes.
Her grandfather was a lawyer in Southampton and predicted her pursuit of the law, according to her brother Simon Halden. Roberts had an unconventional route to the Bar. She married one week after her 18th birthday, had two daughters and worked stints as a model and for Island Records. In her thirties, she embarked on a law degree at Southampton University and was awarded a first. “She was a remarkable story. A lot of the time she was doing her studies at night,” said Halden.
