A Will is one of the most important legal documents you’ll ever make, but not every Will is legally valid.

Problems can arise if it hasn’t been signed and witnessed correctly, if the person making it lacked the necessary mental capacity, or if there are allegations of undue influence, fraud or forgery.

Taking professional legal advice when preparing your Will can help ensure your wishes are properly recorded and reduce the risk of future disputes for your loved ones.

If you’d like advice on making or updating a Will, our team is here to help.

Many people assume that once their divorce is final, all financial ties with their former spouse come to an end. In reality, that is not always the case.

A Clean Break Order is designed to bring financial matters to a legal conclusion, helping to prevent future claims and providing certainty for both parties.

If you’re separating or divorcing, obtaining the right legal advice can help protect your future.

Can a parent move away with a child after separation?

It’s a question that arises frequently after relationships end, particularly when one parent has a new job, wants to be closer to family, or is looking for a fresh start.

There is no automatic rule that a parent can or cannot relocate. If the move would have a significant impact on the child’s relationship with the other parent, agreement should be sought or, if necessary, the court may decide the issue based on the child’s best interests.

Every situation is different, so obtaining legal advice at an early stage can help you understand your options.

Choosing an executor is one of the most important parts of making a Will, yet it’s often something people decide quickly.

Your executor will be responsible for dealing with your estate, handling paperwork, paying debts and taxes, and making sure your wishes are carried out properly.

The right person should be someone you trust, but also someone able to manage responsibility during what can already be a difficult time for families.

When parents separate, school holidays can often become one of the most challenging aspects of child arrangements.

Many people assume there is a standard formula for dividing school holidays, but there is no automatic rule. What works for one family may not be appropriate for another.

Whether arrangements are agreed between parents or determined by the court, the focus will always be on the child’s welfare, stability and maintaining meaningful relationships with both parents.

As children grow older, holiday arrangements may also need to evolve to reflect their changing needs and circumstances.

If you are experiencing difficulties agreeing school holiday arrangements, obtaining legal advice at an early stage can help you understand your options and avoid unnecessary conflict.

Can messages, emails or screenshots be used in family court?

In many cases, yes. Digital communication can form part of the evidence considered by the court, particularly where it relates to arrangements for a child, co-parenting communication or wider welfare concerns.

However, context is important. Courts will usually look at patterns, chronology and relevance, rather than focusing on one isolated message alone.

This is also an important reminder that written communication may later be scrutinised during proceedings. Keeping communication calm, factual and child-focused is often advisable.

For confidential family law advice, contact us.

“You can’t force a parent to parent” is a phrase often heard in family law discussions.

While a parent cannot usually be compelled to actively engage in parenting, repeated cancellations, inconsistency or unreliability can still have a significant impact on a child.

In these situations, the court will usually look at the wider pattern, including:
• How often contact is cancelled
• Whether notice is given
• The reasons provided
• The effect on the child

Where there is a Child Arrangements Order in place, both parents are expected to make reasonable efforts to follow it.

Above all else, the court’s focus remains the child’s welfare, stability and emotional wellbeing.

If you are experiencing ongoing issues with child arrangements or contact, our team can provide confidential advice tailored to your circumstances.

Communication after separation is not always straightforward.

While some parents are able to communicate easily, for others it may feel difficult, distressing or inappropriate due to the history of the relationship.

There is no expectation that separated parents must maintain constant direct communication if this is not workable or safe.

What matters most is whether arrangements for the child can be managed appropriately and in their best interests.

In some situations, communication may instead take place through parenting apps, written updates, solicitors or structured arrangements.

If you need advice regarding child arrangements or co-parenting after separation, our team is here to help.
