Unmarried Couples & Schedule 1 Update
Location: Pre-Recorded on Zoom Members: FREE for Members - Book by 31 Jul
Highlights
We are all aware of the extra challenges involved in working at home at the moment, particularly if you are doing long hours in front of screens.
Rather than just sit here and read out lots of case law our intention is that this discussion is focussed on practicalities and to that end we have prepared a case study which is intended to replicate some of the information you might have from a first meeting with your client or contained in a typical a set of instructions to counsel.
We are going to use that case study as an anchor for our discussion so you need to have read that before you start.
Listen in on:
- Laura Moys on common Tolata points and the value of cohabitation contracts
- James Pirrie's broad outline of child maintenance
- Charlotte Bradley's key issues and developments in Sch 1.
- In-depth analysis of an unique case study worked example

Family Law in Partnership
The direction the law takes us when our clients have never married is often a poor fit against the moral compass our client had before consulting us. It is also generally unaffordable. So finding what will be useful so we can do more than just apologise to our clients for the systems that we deliver is important. We can do our best by knowing the systems as well as we can, which James has done through [Resolution] accreditation in TOLATA, through schedule 1 nerdy-ism [that book], having worked the Child Maintenance system since the start of the 90s and through learning about the wider context of systems the systems by which we might help (which James has tried to do eg collaborative and pFDRs or better ENE, mediation, arbitration, Child inclusive work, integrating with financial planners, divorce coaches and the whole rich non-law context around conflict/ relationships/ child-development/ aspirations-led work & the rest). There is lots to talk about.
