Sometimes we can’t help how we feel. So just go with it. It won’t last forever. People say that you can choose how you feel. And I think there are certain circumstances where this is true. In matters of the heart it is harder to control

We obtained a Final Divorce Order in only 61 minutes! Yesterday we set our own record in the firm for obtaining a decree absolute on behalf of a client which typically takes around 2 10 days to obtain. Using the online divorce system, we submitted our client’s application for decree absolute at 1:55pm and it was granted within 61 minutes.... https://www.family-law.co.uk/final-divorce-order/

It’s a choice but it’s a choice that depends on both parties. Some people want to avoid lawyers to save costs. It’s always better to know your rights. A specialist solicitor will be able to tell you the likely financial outcome of divorce in a first meeting. Providing you have all the financial particulars. From a cost perspective an amicable divorce will cost in the region of 2 - 5k. If the matter becomes acrimonious you can add another zero making it an eye watering 20-...50k. Aside from the finances there are many reasons to keep things amicable. Especially where there are children involved meaning you are inextricably linked forever. If you think of their future graduations, engagements, weddings is it really worth fighting over the living room sofa? That said there are many cases where the fight has to happen for fairness to prevail. #divorce#divorcelawyer#familylaw#divorcesupport#coparenting#childrenofdivorce#divorcecost#divorceadvice#familylawexpert

The Differences and Similarities of the Divorce Process England & Wales vs. New Zealand As I approach four years of living in the United Kingdom after relocating from New Zealand in March 2017, I thought I would share some of my observations on the differences and similarities between family law in both countries. Having now practiced under both jurisdictions, and being dual-qualified, there are a number of things which I believe both systems have which the other could easily benefit from.... https://www.family-law.co.uk/divorce-process-england-wales/

A lot has been said about Divorce Day over the years. It’s also known as National Divorce Day the first working Monday of the New Year when family lawyers see the biggest surge in new enquiries from those considering divorce or separation and wanting to explore their options. But why? Not, why are they calling, but why January? My own thoughts are that Christmas has a lot to do with things, as well as the New Year.... https://www.family-law.co.uk/divorce-day-2021/

Letting go is difficult. We invest and create time in and history with people, family, friends etc. When these relationships go wrong and sometimes become more of a drain or even toxic it can be an internal battle to make the choice to leave it behind. But if it’s not good for you, if it brings you down and has a negative impact on you it’s time to move on. It’s part of life. Sometimes we just outgrow relationships and yes we will grieve them but in that empty space will grow better, uplifting, joyous and heart warming relationships. #newyear#newyou#movingon#newlife#familylawadvice#divorce#divorcesolicitor#relationships

I absolutely love your work @ulliekayepoetry You always hit the nail on the head so stylishly. This can be applied to many situations I’m sure but to me it sums up divorce. If you haven’t been divorced take a moment to think about how traumatic it is for people. Even if they were the instigator it’s still a painful process. If you’re going through a difficult time now take heart though because, in time, you will be stronger, wiser, more empathic #divorce#divorcesupport#familylawyer#posttraumaticgrowth#day1#positivequotes#quotestoliveby#internationalfamilylaw#coparenting#familylawexpert

How do the new Christmas bubbles rules affect children moving between homes? The Christmas bubble is only for 23-27 December 2020; You can only be in one Christmas bubble, unless you are a child under the age of 18 with separated parents who are in separate Christmas bubbles;... Christmas bubbles cannot be changed; Christmas bubbles are limited to people from no more than three households; People can travel between tiers and the UK for the purposes of meeting their Christmas bubble; You can only meet your Christmas bubble in private homes, gardens, places of worship or outdoor public spaces; You can keep meeting others outside your Christmas bubble outside your home, according to the rules of your tier at the time; and You cannot form a Christmas bubble if you are self-isolating or showing Covid-19 symptoms. So, what does this mean for separated parents? Separated parents are not required to form part of the same Christmas bubble as their ex-partner. Children under the age of 18 can move between their separated parents’ separate Christmas bubbles, which could potentially mean they are able to come into contact with up to six separate households if each of their parents form a Christmas bubble with two other households. There is no requirement that separated parents have to agree to each other’s respective Christmas bubbles before children move between households either, though many separated parents may want to communicate with each other about this ahead of the Christmas period to discuss what measures will be taken to try and minimise the risk of catching or spreading the virus. The government has also advised people that two weeks prior and during the period of Christmas bubbles, i.e. two weeks prior to and from 23 to 27 December 2020, people should reduce any unnecessary contact with people outside of this Christmas bubble as much as possible. #familylawadvice#christmasbubbles#childarrangements#divorce#coparenting#kidsfirst

Wow. Thank you - you and your colleagues have brought us to our future. You’ve changed our lives and had me at the most broken I’ve ever been. I know how challenging my brokenness has been to manage, I’ve been the cl...ient I never imagined I would be - incapable of doing the things needed to actually change the things that were breaking me! So, I’m really am grateful for bringing this nightmare client through and bearing the stress and frustration that my rubbishness brought to doing your jobs. I’ve never thought about it before but I hope that you feel satisfied and happy knowing what you & the team have achieved. Maybe it seems OTT but it really feels that momentous right now and my overly wordy message is because you have done a massive thing, it’s a case file closed but you do important, life changing things for people and difficult as it’s been, I wanted to let you know how that case closed / concluded really feels. You’ve changed our lives, made it possible - this thank you is one of the biggest, most important thank you’s I’ve ever said. Well done to you and the team for bringing us to this day.’ It can be a long and emotional road but it’s wonderful to get to this point.

Stop the press ..... If you didn’t know divorce is painful so spare a thought for anyone you know going through it.

An eye contact test for divorcing parents before shared care The Daily Mail reported yesterday that a judge led report has recommended that divorcing or separating parents should take a ‘eye contact test’.

We haven’t seen any guidance on that specific point but I think isolation should not necessarily be a block to contact arrangements taking place as usual if it can happen safely within the guidelines. Whether it should practically happen though depends on the specific circumstances (for instance would the handover have to happen in public etc). The situation would be different if child shows symptoms or tests positive. #childlawexpert#coparenting#childarrangements#coparentingandcovid#familylawadvice#divorcexpert

Once again, the country is facing another series of lockdowns due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The introduction of the three-tier system brings with it a wave of confusion for many separated parents on how the rules impact arrangements for children who live between different households. At the start of the national lockdown in late March/early April, Michael Gove MP caused a wave of panic whilst being interviewed on Good Morning Britain to discuss the new rules in place.... Stating that children could not move between homes to see their parents in terms of care, he advised that children should remain in their present home. Family lawyers across the country came out in droves to point out that Mr Gove’s statement was directly contradictory to the official government guidance. Embarrassingly, Gove was forced to return to Good Morning Britain that same day to apologise for his mistake and to confirm the correct position, which was: Where parents do not live in the same household, children under 18 can be moved between their parents’ homes. What are the current rules? We are now facing localised lockdowns across the country, rather than another full national lockdown. Regions across the country are now classes as being in one of three tiers, which each tier having different sets of rules and regulations. As everyone will be familiar, each tier sets out what people can and cannot do during the COVID-19 pandemic. Importantly for separated parents is that no matter what tier a region has been placed under, the rules are identical when it comes to arrangements for children who spent time living between separated parents’ homes. The identical wording provides an exception to the rules relating to gatherings which states an exception to the rules exists: for the purposes of arrangements for access to, and contact between, parents and children where the children do not live in the same household as their parents or one of their parents So in summary, children who live in different households between their separated parents are able to continue to do so, and parents who facilitate this will not be in breach of the current rules for doing so. #divorce#childlaw#coparent See more

Lottery win ends in divorce: a curse for married couples?

Qualified Solicitor, 41, loses child maintenance battle with his parents In a case described as most unusual and unprecedented, the Family Court has rejected an application by a 41 year old qualified solicitor for continued financial support from his parents (more commonly known as child maintenance). The claimant son had submitted that he was a vulnerable adult who required the court’s protective help, stating that he was at risk of harm after his parents had nurtured his dependency on them for more than 20 years.

The law relating to inheritances can be complicated, but the general rule is that an inheritance received after a couple separate tends to fall outside what is known as the matrimonial pot and therefore excluded from the general sharing rules. However, this doesn’t mean the Court cannot take into account a party’s financial situation if asked to make a decision as to how the matrimonial pot should be split. For example, let’s say there is 200,000 in the matrimonial pot to ...divide between a husband and wife, who have asked the Court to step in and decide how it should be split. Let’s then say the wife receives a 2 million inheritance from a distant uncle who has died. While the Court is unlikely to award the husband any share of that inheritance as it was received by the wife post-separation, they can take it into account when dividing the matrimonial pot on the basis of needs, i.e. the husband now needs more of the 200,000 matrimonial pot than the wife. #divorce#lawyer#choosingalawyer#familylaw#cheshire #alderleyedge #divorcetips#familylawyer #ukdivorce #internationaldivorce #childlaw #divorceadvice #steponeofdivorce #divorceguidance #divorcelawyers #divorcelaw #divorcelawyer #divorcefacts #divorcevlog #familylawyers#inheritance #divorce#divorcexpert#amicabledivorce#familylaw#solicitor#posttraumaticgrowth

Unfortunately, yes. There is no such thing as a ‘common law spouse’ in the UK. What this means is that if you separate from your partner but aren’t married, the division of any property will fall under civil law, and what this means is that you will only have claims on property which is jointly owned. There are exceptions to this rule, such as protections where there are children of the relationship, but these are few and far between. It makes sense to get these things in ord...er before you cohabit but if you didn’t and now need advice give us as call 01625 544650 or 07725 857810 or [email protected] #divorce#lawyer#choosingalawyer#familylaw#cheshire #alderleyedge #divorcetips#familylawyer #ukdivorce #internationaldivorce #childlaw #divorceadvice #steponeofdivorce #divorceguidance #divorcelawyers #divorcelaw #divorcelawyer #divorcefacts #divorcevlog #familylawyers #divorce#divorcexpert#amicabledivorce#familylaw#solicitor#posttraumaticgrowth#resilience#onwardsandupwards#cohabitation

We get asked this question almost every day, and this is never a simple answer. To start with, it depends on whether or not you are married. If you are married, then the reality is you probably won’t get the deposit back. This is because the starting point in divorce is 50/50, regardless of who owns what or who paid for what. If at the time the house was purchased it was recorded at the Land Registry that you were to own a greater share of the house because you paid the depos...it, then this may strengthen your case to get the deposit back, but there is simply no guarantee. If you aren’t married, it usually just comes down to how the property was registered with the Land Registry.

In late 2015/early 2016, the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) received two applications from two women who claimed that Steven Dixon, 39, was the father of their respective sons. After being contacted by the CMS, Dixon sent for a DNA testing kit which he collected himself and asked a friend to provide a mouth swab for. The fake mouth swab was then sent to the CMS with a form stating it had been taken by Dr Jon Kisler at a surgery in Warrington in July 2018. The form was signed... off by a Dr Kisler. Following the results of the fake DNA test, the CMS rejected the application for maintenance that had been made against Dixon, but the two mothers appealed which led to an investigation. Their case was strengthened as they had subsequently carried out a legitimate DNA test showing both their sons were actually half-brothers. In November 2018, Dixon wrote to the CMS stating: "The pursuit of myself from both you and my ex-partners is now becoming tantamount to harassment this pursuit is now affecting my own life, as if it wasn't traumatic enough on both occasions to find out neither of these children were mine at the time, when I believed them to be, to now having to re-live it all again and even on having it proved by yourselves by DNA that they are not mine, to then still be being pursued. It is simply not acceptable to be allowed to continue." Unfortunately for Dixon, a DNA search of the fake results was conducted which led police to Dixon’s friend who had provided him with the fake mouth swab sample. That friend was arrested and the full details of what Dixon had done was revealed. Dixon was eventually arrested in July 2019 for providing the fake DNA sample, he was forced to provide a DNA sample to police which clearly showed he was the father of the children and had therefore provided a fake mouth swab sample to the CMS. The real Dr Kisler confirmed to the police he had never met with Dixon, never worked at the GP surgery which was recorded on the form, and that the signature on the form was not his. Dixon pleaded guilty to three counts of Making or Supplying Articles for Use in Frauds and on 15 September 2020 at Chester Crown Court was jailed for 18 mon
