🐾 For many people, a pet is part of the family, which can make things especially emotional if a relationship ends.

Where couples are living together, engaged, married, or planning their future, it can be helpful to agree in advance what would happen to a much-loved pet if circumstances changed.

📘 A clear agreement can set out who the pet would live with, how responsibilities may be shared, and what both parties understand from the outset.

🤝 It may feel unusual to discuss, but having clarity early can help avoid confusion, upset, and difficult conversations later.

If you would like guidance on putting clear agreements in place within your relationship, we’re here to help.

Nesting is an arrangement where the children stay in one home, while the parents take turns living with them there.

For some families, this can provide a sense of stability and reduce disruption during separation, particularly in the early stages. It can help children remain in familiar surroundings while parents work out longer-term arrangements.

📘 However, birdnesting is not right for everyone. It often requires a high level of cooperation, clear boundaries, and practical agreements to make it work well.

⚖️ As with all child arrangements, the key question is whether it supports the child’s wellbeing and works in practice for the family as a whole.

If you are considering different child arrangement options and want clear, supportive guidance, we’re here to help.

👶 One of the most common misconceptions in family law is that there is a standard split of time, such as 60/40, that automatically applies to child arrangements.

⚖️ In reality, there is no fixed formula. The right arrangement will always depend on the individual child, their needs, their routine, and what is in their best interests.

📘 The court does not work from a set percentage. Instead, the focus is on creating arrangements that are practical, stable, and centred around the child’s wellbeing.

🤝 If you are unsure what a fair arrangement may look like in your situation, we’re here to provide clear and supportive guidance.

📞 For many people, picking up the phone to call a solicitor can feel like the hardest part.

It can make things feel real. It can bring nerves, uncertainty, and the worry that you need to have all the answers before reaching out.

💬 The truth is, you do not need to know everything before making that first call. You just need a starting point.

🤝 A first conversation is simply that. A conversation. A chance to explain what is happening, ask questions, and begin to understand your options in a calm and supportive environment.

If you’ve been putting off getting in touch because it feels overwhelming, you are not alone. We are here to listen.

🏡 Cohabitation rights are firmly back on the family law agenda.

The Government has confirmed that it intends to consult on strengthening rights and protections for cohabiting couples, with the consultation expected to consider how those protections may apply.

⚖️ But for now, the key point remains the same: unmarried couples do not currently have the same automatic legal protections as married couples or civil partners. This can become especially important when buying a home together, contributing unequally, or separating after a long relationship.

📘 A cohabitation agreement can help set out expectations clearly, including property arrangements, responsibilities, and what should happen if circumstances change.

If you’re living together or planning to buy a property with your partner, getting clarity early can help avoid uncertainty later.

🏖️ School holidays can be a lovely time for children, but they can also bring extra pressure for separated parents.

A fair holiday schedule should focus on the child’s routine, wellbeing, and time with both parents where appropriate.

📅 Planning ahead can help avoid misunderstandings, last-minute stress, and unnecessary conflict.

⚖️ Where arrangements are difficult to agree, clear legal guidance can help parents find a structured, child-focused way forward.

If you need support with child arrangements during the school holidays, we’re here to help.
