A story has made the rounds this silly season that the Queen has custody of her minor grandchildren (and by implication her great-grandchildren) instead of their parents. This appears to be total nonsense. My daughter is 6 years old and I am from Spain. The father has not been involved in her life for 5 years and I do not know where he is.
The Spanish embassy says he needs to come to make the application for the passport or I need a court order. Can you help? Complicated schedules where over a two or three week period weekdays and weekends are evened out but there are frequent changes. I have had several callers yesterday with essentially the same issue: the other parent is not agreeing to or not sticking to a clear schedule for time they spend with the child.

Andrea Woelke set up Alternative Family Law in 2005 because he felt that the way he as a family lawyer works with his clients and meets their needs differs greatly from the way lawyers work with clients in other areas of law. Family law touches very personal and intimate areas of people's lives and most clients prefer to have a personal relationship with their lawyer.
Sometimes court proceedings are inevitable. Often they can be avoided. Many people find the prospect of having to appear before a court of law daunting at the best of times; combined with the emotions resulting from separation or disagreements about the upbringing of children, it becomes the last thing most people want.
A story has made the rounds this silly season that the Queen has custody of her minor grandchildren (and by implication her great-grandchildren) instead of their parents. This appears to be total nonsense. This all seems to rely on a blog post by an American royal journalist Marlene Koenig who in turn relies on an article in the Times from 1993 by Michael L. Nash (which I could not find).
Your spouse has behaved in such a way that you cannot reasonably be expected to live with them. If people do not want to wait for two years, they can only base the divorce on "adultery" or "behaviour" even if they both agree to the divorce. Any adultery or behaviour you want to rely on must be that of the respondent and not of the person who is starting the divorce.
Child Maintenance through the Child Maintenance Service (previously Child Support Agency). More and more people simply live together without formalising their relationship. Some marry or register as civil partners (if they are a same-sex couple) later on; others never formalise anything. For some people this is because they are opposed to traditional relationship models and gender roles, for others this is a natural progression.
