I write for the benefit of those who are experiencing family breakdown and for fellow family law professionals. Please note that all persons mentioned in the scenarios are fictitious: details have been deliberately changed in order to protect identities and other confidential circumstances of my clients.

Please also note the advice I give in each scenario must not be relied upon by anyone reading my blog. You must always take your own legal advice as your circumstances may be different and English family law is continually changing.
