Author: Suzanne Kingston - Mills & Reeve

We are adapting to a whole new normal – There’s been an overnight shift to remote working for almost the entire population and the court system which has remained unchanged for decades is creaking and in many instances no longer available. This is therefore a time for alternatives to court to come into their own.

With school closures, travel bans and the lockdown of many cities around the world, many of us are left wondering where the safest place for us is to ride out the coming months.

The family law profession will follow developments closely as it can only be a short step to the same measures in the Family Court.
