One thing that genuinely frustrates me in family court is how often important parts of orders are left “to be agreed between the parties”.

But… they can’t agree.

That’s usually why they’re at court in the first place.

I completely understand why courts encourage flexibility and cooperation between parents. In the right cases, that’s absolutely the correct approach. But vague wording often creates more conflict, not less.

When the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (LASPO) was introduced, most legal aid for private family law was removed (e.g., divorce, child contact and residence) unless there was evidence of domestic violence, child abuse, or child abduction.

We offer an affordable service to give you clear guidance and support..
