Thank you Family Solutions Group for organising a very useful discussion yesterday evening about supporting separating families through our justice system and more broadly. Great to join @Siobhan_Baillie on a panel of brilliant experts.
Helpful update from CPResource summarising the interesting FJC conference and Bridget Linley Memorial lecture today: childprotectionresource.online/time-for-clima…
Mills & Reeve - Children Law FamilyLawHour Where is the law in private children cases? I mean really what law other than The Children Act? I think we have duty to our clients to educate them as well as advise them. Some of the advice is based on our experience of previous clients/cases.
FamilyLawHour This, I might add, is something Helen Adam is keen to see available for lawyers, and I am hoping some others might be interested in collaborating with me to put this together? If so, please let me know.
The Family Law Language Project Family Solutions Group “Real change will come about by us all thinking about it” and the need for change in our language is “blindingly obvious” said Sir Andrew McFarlane about the #Language of #FamilyLaw and real change won’t happen or last unless we do. #whatwillyoudo?
Our #LanguageMatters webinar is now available to watch. As Sir Andrew McFarlane, President of the Family Division, says about changing the way we use language in court: “It’s blindingly obvious that the language we have been using is not appropriate." familysolutionsgroup.co.uk/language-matte…
ICYMI Fiona Shackleton with Evan Davis on why an urgent review of the 50 year old Matrimonial Causes Act is long overdue, especially around finances of separating families. Money arguments are toxic & damaging & children get caught in the middle. ⏩42.17 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
A/Prof Matt Buttery Gemma Hope (She/Her) Today's Family Lawyer Family Solutions Group Good to see attention on this issue. The stats on children from separated families of course include those whose parents have never been married or in civil partnerships. For these families, the law and the language used is explosive. Reform is long overdue.
