We can't wait for our big challenge tomorrow ; abseiling down Larpool viaduct. We hope you can all show your support by contributing on our Just Giving Page helping the wonderful folk at St. Gemma's Hospice

https://www.justgiving.com/page/consilialegalstgemmas

Intrepid, brave, foolhardy … petrified Consilia Legal team Marie Walsh, Claudia Gilham and Sally Ball; joined by ringers … I mean special guests, Kris and Mark Parry will be throwing themselves from Whitby’s 120 foot high Larpool viaduct on Tuesday 15th September in aid of our charity of the year - St. Gemma's Hospice.

Any resemblance to Bridget Jones’ fireman’s pole escapade will be entirely coincidental and the team are confident they will glide elegantly down the abseil ropes.

We hope you will show your support via a donation to our team Just Giving page linked below – or available on the QR code amongst the images.

We promise many pictures from the day for your amusement and who knows – with Marie involved – there’s a high probability of fancy dress!

Can You Really Have an Amicable Divorce?

Nobody gets married thinking it’ll end. But when it does, the split doesn’t have to turn into a war. That might sound idealistic, especially if you’ve watched friends or family tear each other apart through months of rows and solicitor letters. The thing is, plenty of couples in the UK do manage to divorce without burning everything down. It takes effort, honesty, and sometimes outside help. But an amicable divorce is a real option, and more couples are going for it than you’d probably expect.

How To Get a Divorce as a UK Expat

There are various reasons why more and more people are moving from the UK to live and work overseas, not least because it can have great benefits in terms of finance and everyday lifestyle. However, one element of this process that people often overlook is the complications introduced by living in a different legal jurisdiction. Naturally this is not always a high priority when it comes to justifying a move abroad, but it does add complexity to various legal situations, and one of those is the divorce process.

A guide to divorce for UK expats, covering jurisdiction, domicile, finances, children and the divorce process in England and Wales.

A Parent’s Guide to Ensuring Your Child’s Voice Isn’t Lost in Separation

When parents split up, there’s an overwhelming amount to deal with. Where everyone’s going to live, how the money gets divided, who gets the car, who picks up on which days, etc. It’s easy for the practical stuff to take over completely. But somewhere in all of that, children are watching, listening, and forming their own opinions about what’s going on. They notice more than most parents give them credit for, and their perspective almost never gets brought into the conversation properly.
