“I've secretly recorded my ex. Can I use it in family court?” 👀

When a separation becomes difficult, you might feel that recording conversations is the only way to prove what's really happening.

But can a secret recording actually be used as evidence in family court? And could making one cause problems of its own?

🎥 In this short video, our solicitor Antony Ball explores the issue of secret recordings in family law proceedings and why it's important to understand the potential implications before relying on them.

Just because you've recorded something doesn't automatically mean the court will accept it as evidence. Every situation is different. 💚

Before pressing record, take a look at Antony's video to find out more.

“I paid for the house, so surely I get to keep it?”

It might sound straightforward – but when you’re married, things aren’t always that simple. 🏠

If one person paid the deposit, covered the mortgage or contributed more financially, does that automatically mean the house belongs to them if you divorce?

🎥 In this short video, our Consultant Family Solicitor Roxanne Woolliams explains how the family home may be considered during divorce and why who paid for what isn’t necessarily the end of the story.

Before assuming what you – or your ex – might be entitled to, make sure you understand your legal position. 💚

Living together but not married? Your partner may not automatically inherit your estate.

It’s an important point that many unmarried couples may not realise.

If you want to make sure your partner receives what you would like them to in the event of your death, having a Will in place is incredibly important.

A Will allows you to clearly set out your wishes and help ensure that the people you care about are provided for. 💚

Don’t leave something this important to chance. Take a look at how making a Will could help protect your partner and your wishes for the future.

“My ex is refusing to discuss our finances. Does that mean our divorce is stuck?” 💷

Trying to reach a financial settlement after separation can be frustrating enough, but what happens when your ex simply refuses to cooperate?

Ignoring requests for financial information, delaying discussions or refusing to engage with the process can leave you feeling as though there's no way forward.

But you may have more options than you think.

🎥 In this short video, our solicitor Danielle Higgins explains what you can do when your ex won't engage with the financial process and why their refusal doesn't necessarily mean everything has to come to a standstill.

You shouldn't have to put your financial future on hold indefinitely because your ex won't cooperate. 💚

Is your ex using the family home as a way to control you? 🏠

Threatening to make you leave, refusing to move out, withholding access or using the home to put pressure on you after separation can leave you feeling as though you have very few options.

But you may have more legal protection than you realise.

🎥 In this short video, our solicitor Antony Ball explains what you can do if the family home is being used as a means of control and why understanding your legal position can be so important.

You don’t have to simply accept what your ex tells you about your rights to the home. 💚

Take a look at Antony’s video to understand more about the protection that may be available.

“Google says I’m entitled to…”

Sound familiar? 👀

When you’re going through a divorce or separation, it’s completely understandable to search online for answers. There’s a huge amount of information available – but what you read online isn’t necessarily advice that applies to your individual circumstances.

🎥 In this short video, our solicitor Angela Lally explains why general information online and legal advice about your specific case are two very different things.

Your relationship, finances, children and circumstances are unique. Before making an important decision based on something you’ve read online, make sure you understand how the law applies to you. 💚

🎥 In this short video, our solicitor Rebecca Baker explains how a business may be considered when dealing with finances following a divorce and why it’s important to understand the full financial picture.

Every situation is different, particularly when businesses and other significant assets are involved, so getting the right advice early can help you understand where you stand. 💚

If you’ve been thinking about separation but don’t know how to begin the conversation, take a look at Louise’s advice. 💚
