When we hear family lawyers talking about the need to appoint experts for valuations it’s tempting to think ‘more unnecessary cost’. It might seem expensive and painful but you will thank yourself and your experts in the longer term. A few thousand pounds now could add multiple thousands to your settlement.

In financial remedy proceedings, the instruction of a Single Joint Expert (SJE) is often a crucial step in achieving a fair and efficient outcome.

In this short video, James Maguire outlines the importance of obtaining an independent expert valuation—whether in relation to property, business interests, or other high-value assets.

A jointly instructed expert can:
• Provide impartial, court-compliant evidence
• Minimise disputes between parties
• Streamline the resolution process and control costs

Understanding when and how to use an SJE can significantly impact the outcome of a case.

Pathfinder is being rolled out across the country in March 2026. It is the new procedural approach to be adopted in Private children proceedings.

With many cases suffering significant delays in the Family Courts, Pathfinder is the Family Court’s latest solution. The intention is to short circuit proceedings, dispensing with the FHDRA process and effectively leapfrogging to the DRA with the benefit of a child impact report, which addresses the welfare checklist.

The intention is to put the real issues in the case – including domestic abuse – front and centre, and to undertake more comprehensive risk analysis prior to parents entering the Court room.

There is to be more focus on early stage multi-agency intervention, where relevant and necessary and further consideration of the child’s voice.

Pathfinder will be applicable to new cases only, so if your matter is already in proceedings, the procedural change won’t be applied retrospectively.

At we specialise in complex children law and welcome any questions
you may have on how Pathfinder may affect your case.
