It is becoming more common for couples to prepare an Agreement prior to a Marriage or Civil Partnership to provide what will happen if the relationship unfortunately breaks down. This may be for reasons such as second marriages - where they want to ensure the children from the previous marriage are provided for; to protect inherited or pre-acquired assets or to determine which country can deal with any dispute.
If a parent removes a child from the home or country of residence without the permission of the other parent or a Court Order, then this is regarded as a criminal offence in the UK. A UK resident can take a child abroad for up to 28 days if there is a Residence Order in their favour or Child Arrangements Order when the resident is named as the person with whom the child is to live.
If you or your children are the victims of domestic violence or abuse act now to protect yourself or your children - call the police and/or leave the house. The personal safety of you and your children is more important than the legal niceties. If you are affected by domestic abuse (which can include violent behaviour and emotional abuse) from an "associated person"you can apply for an injunction under the Family Law Act 1996 to protect you.

This is the second time since the beginning of the year that we have used Footner Ewing and I am so pleased that we were recommended to use them.
Matthew Yarham of the Romsey Office was so helpful and efficient in dealing with the two property sales which are now completed. One of these sales was during the lockdown and could have easily gone pear shaped.
We are currently awaiting the completion of the sale of our property which will then make three sales this year.
Matthew was such a pleasure to have working for us. Nothing was too much for him and he quickly advised us of any potential problems

Hopeless solicitors. Even two weeks was not enough to correct some mistakes in document they have made. They even cannot contact their clients to find out when they would move out. Do not respond to emails, do not call back, do not care about their clients or cases... they are not interested in finalising transaction at all!
