Can you make your ex pay your Family Court legal costs?

It’s a question that often arises when family proceedings become lengthy or difficult.

Unlike some other forms of litigation, there isn’t a straightforward rule that the unsuccessful party will pay the other person’s costs.

In proceedings concerning children, costs orders are unusual, although the court retains discretion to make one in appropriate circumstances.

Financial remedy proceedings have their own rules. The general position is that each party bears their own costs, but the court can make a different order where a party’s conduct justifies it.

Every case is different, so obtaining advice on your individual circumstances is important.

🐾 Meet Pegi, our (unofficially official) office dog!

It’s International Dog Day, so we thought it was about time we introduced a very important member of the Avery Naylor team. ❤️

Pegi might technically belong to one of our directors, but she’s been firmly adopted into the Avery Naylor family and has become our resident office dog.

She brings plenty of joy to the office, provides a welcome distraction on the more stressful afternoons and, as you can see, looks rather at home in Avery Naylor red! ❤️🐶

Because families come in all shapes and sizes… and sometimes they have four paws. 🐾

Happy International Dog Day from Pegi and all of us at Avery Naylor!

Thinking about recording a conversation with your ex?

When communication is difficult, it can be tempting to press record, particularly if you’re worried about what is being said or want to keep a record of what’s happening.

But will a Family Court actually consider a secret recording?

The answer isn’t always straightforward.

Covert recordings can sometimes be used as evidence, but whether they are helpful will depend on the individual circumstances. And when children are involved, particular care is needed.

Before you press record, or if you already have recordings that you think could be relevant to your case, it’s worth getting legal advice about the best way forward.

What happens if someone keeps making applications to the Family Court?

Sometimes circumstances change and there is a genuine need for a parent to return to court.

But repeated or unreasonable applications can place considerable strain on families and, in some circumstances, may themselves cause harm.

The Family Court has the power to make a Section 91(14) Order, requiring a person to obtain the court’s permission before making certain further applications under the Children Act 1989.

These orders are intended to act as a protective filter rather than an absolute bar to future applications.

If you’re experiencing repeated Family Court proceedings and are unsure of your options, our family law team can help.

AI is changing the way many people access legal information.

Whether you’re trying to understand legal terminology, organise your thoughts or prepare for an appointment, AI can be a useful tool.

But family law is rarely one-size-fits-all.

Every case depends on its own facts, evidence and individual circumstances, which is why tailored legal advice remains so important.

Have you ever used AI to help you understand a legal issue?

We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Many people think making a Will is something you do once and never think about again.

In reality, your Will should evolve as your life does.

Major life events, changing relationships and new assets can all mean it’s time for a review.

Coercive control can be difficult to recognise. It often involves a pattern of behaviour intended to control, intimidate or isolate another person and can have a significant impact on family life.

Where relevant, family courts may consider allegations of coercive control alongside all of the other evidence when making decisions. The child’s welfare will always be the court’s paramount consideration.

If you need advice about child arrangements, domestic abuse or any other family law matter, our experienced team is here to help.

Attending court can feel overwhelming, particularly where proceedings involve domestic abuse, coercive behaviour or significant conflict between the parties.

The Family Court can put special measures in place to help individuals participate effectively and safely in proceedings. These arrangements are designed to reduce distress and ensure that everyone is able to engage fairly with the court process.

Special measures may include separate waiting areas, giving evidence by video link, the use of screens in the courtroom and protection from direct questioning in certain circumstances.

Every case is different, and the court will consider whether special measures are appropriate based on the individual circumstances involved.

If you have concerns about attending court or giving evidence, it is important to raise these as early as possible.

If you would like advice regarding family court proceedings or the support that may be available, our family law team would be happy to help.

Co-parenting can be challenging, but the right tools can help make communication clearer, more organised and focused on your child’s needs.

A number of apps are available to help separated parents manage shared calendars, messages, expenses and important information in one place. The best choice will depend on your individual circumstances and what works for your family.

If you’re experiencing difficulties with child arrangements or co-parenting after separation, obtaining early legal advice can often help avoid unnecessary conflict.
