Child arrangements after separation are not always fixed. As children grow older, their routines, schooling, activities and even their own views can naturally change over time. This can sometimes mean arrangements need to adapt too.

Where possible, parents are encouraged to communicate openly and focus on what continues to work best for the child as circumstances evolve.

If you’d like advice around child arrangements or family law matters, our team is here to help: https://www.mcsherryhalliday.co.uk/legal-services/family-law-divorce/children-and-the-law/

Being appointed as someone’s financial attorney is an important responsibility.

A financial Power of Attorney allows a trusted person to manage finances alongside the granter, or on their behalf if they become unable to do so. This can include paying bills, managing bank accounts, handling property matters and making important financial decisions.

The financial powers come into effect as soon as the Power of Attorney is registered, which is different from the welfare powers which only come into effect if the granter loses capacity.

Without a Power of Attorney in place, loved ones may need to go through a much longer and more complicated legal process to gain authority to act.

Our blog explains what acting as a financial attorney involves and the responsibilities that come with the role.

In our most recent blog post, we're explaining what no-fault divorce in Scotland is and what it means for you.

Essentially, no-fault divorce allows a marriage to end without either spouse having to blame the other for the breakdown of the relationship. In the blog, we explain how it works in practice, what it means for separating couples and the steps involved in moving forward.

Thinking about relocating after separation?

When children are involved, moving home, particularly if it’s further away, can have important legal considerations. Decisions around schooling, family relationships and contact arrangements may all need to be carefully considered.

In Scotland, the focus will always be on what is in the child’s best interests. Seeking advice early can help you understand your options and avoid unnecessary disputes later on.

Summer is one of the busiest times of year for moving house 🏡☀️

If you're planning a move in the next few months, getting organised early can help make the process much smoother. Speaking to a solicitor before making an offer means you'll better understand the steps involved, have all the paperwork ready and avoid unnecessary delays and stress later on.

Whether you're buying your first home or preparing for your next move, our conveyancing team is here to help guide you through the process. Get in touch with our team for advice now: https://www.mcsherryhalliday.co.uk/property-services/

In the past we've been asked, can you pull out of a house purchase?🏡

In Scotland, it depends on timing. Before missives are concluded, either party can usually withdraw without legal consequences, but once missives are concluded the agreement becomes legally binding.

Understanding this stage is key when buying or selling a property.

If you're unsure where you stand, our conveyancing team can guide you through the process: https://www.mcsherryhalliday.co.uk/contact-us/
