Ways of Protecting Family Wealth on Divorce
Date: 12/04/2020 Type: Articles Topic: Finances |Author: Abby Buckland - Kingsley Napley LLP
Parents are increasingly reluctant to provide financial assistance to their adult children because they are concerned that the money could be lost in a divorce. We are often approached by anxious parents who are keen to ensure that family wealth intended for their children and grandchildren won’t fall into the hands of their estranged son or daughter in law, should they later divorce.
Out-Of-Court Resolution: DR in the Corona Virus Environment and Beyond
Date: 27/03/2020 Type: Articles Topic: ADR | Children | Finances |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. We are lucky that over the years we have developed a whole range of DR. All of the forms of DR can be undertaken virtually – whether by Skype/zoom/loop up and many accredited practitioners are waiting to help.
Coronavirus in the Family Law arena
Date: 23/03/2020 Type: Articles Topic: International |The Coronavirus pandemic has no doubt created fear around the world. 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. Whilst it is completely understandable to want to protect ourselves, our families and our children, if looking for a safe haven results in you removing your children from their country of residence, without the consent of the other parent, you could find yourself facing civil and criminal repercussions.
More Skype hearings prompted by the Coronavirus outbreak
Date: 09/03/2020 Type: Articles Topic: International |Author: David Hodson OBE MICArb
Reports in some media and newspapers today, Sunday 8th March 2020, indicate that HM Courts & Tribunals Service is moving ahead with coronavirus containment plans to have more Skype type video-conferencing court hearings, particularly and initially in criminal cases, to reduce the need for use of public transport and public gathering. The family law profession will follow developments closely as it can only be a short step to the same measures in the Family Court.
Potential Psychology and Emotional Challenges in HNW and UHNW Divorce
Date: 19/02/2020 Type: Articles Topic: Client Perspective | Modern Family |Author: Ahi Wheeler - Harley Street Therapy
While we are all aware of the highly complex legal, financial, commercial and international issues raised by HNW divorces, how much do we know about the personalities that have evolved within this section of society? What might we encounter of the psychology and emotional aspects of the parties involved? HNW and UHNW individuals face and develop a set of challenges within life that might be unfamiliar to those who do not inhabit that world of affluence. The very nature of their circumstances allows them to distance and detach themselves from the everyday concerns that occupy most of the planet, the need to survive financial demands on daily basis, to make ends meet. Consequently there is often little awareness, sympathy or empathy for the human and existential struggles that they, like every other human on the planet, have to face.
Will Marriage Story spark a debate about Family Justice?
Date: 19/02/2020 Type: Articles Topic: Modern Family |Author: Samantha Woodam - The Divorce Surgery
The Oscar winning Marriage Story, released on Netflix, is a compellingly accurate, often painful to watch, account of the fallout when a marriage ends, and the damaging impact adversarial litigation can have. As family lawyers, we are all used to scoffing at TV dramas bearing little resemblance to the reality (“did you see? They used completely the wrong court forms!? And just IMAGINE speaking to your clients like that!”), but Marriage Story really is something different.
