In the UK, the term “common law partner” is often used to describe cohabiting couples who aren't married or in a civil partnership. However, as Darcy Gee explains, in the eyes of the law, it is a colloquial term only and has no legal rights: ow.ly/jgVz50TiAN3

Family law loves an acronym. ADR, NCDR & mediation…what do they all mean? I hope this post will make it clearer. In short, they are ways to resolve a family issue outside of court. #mediation
In April, changes to family court rules were made to promote #mediation and other forms of dispute resolution outside of court. Our Partner and mediator, @vfriendlaw, explains the impact.

The new changes to the family law rules are a dose of common sense. Essentially, think about how to resolve your dispute without rushing to court and take active steps to reach a conclusion. Finally, be mindful of the language you use. #mediation

Not shouting the word notice, just wanted to emphasise it!

Sometimes the difference between collaboration & argument between exs is the language they each choose to use. Consider the difference between using MY children & OUR children. Such simple tweaks don't require big changes but the use of language that creates constructive chats.

Especially when you have people who face multiple disadvantages. We see people who cannot read and write, let alone understand the legal terminology which can be very overwhelming and confusing.

The phrase that’s really winding me up at the minute is “go after”, as in they’re going to go after my pensions 😡 – at Sale, England

This #TimeToTalk day let's remember that family justice professionals handle challenging conversations daily, so it's important to have a space to talk about how you're feeling too. Some great resources from @LawCareLtd on how to start those conversations
It's #TimeToTalk about mental health in the #LegalSector.
We know it can be hard to talk to a colleague about #MentalHealth. But remember.....
👉 you don't need to be an expert
👉 talking could make all the difference to them.

Just try it….
Not sure if this will make a difference in how you and your ex communicate? Try it and see what happens. Sometimes one person changing how they do things CAN be the difference in how things unfold or move forward. #copingwithdivorce

We aren't doing enough to support children and young people who experience parental separation.
A lot needs to change.
Hats off to @F_S_G_Official for their hard work and dedication. This report will serve as an impetus to action.
