Amanda Weaver was the most kindest person and very caring with my case. She helped me out with my case all the way. She was always there for me by phone or in person and I would recommend Amanda to anyone.

It is Family Dispute Resolution week during 24 to 28 November and Resolution is promoting the benefit of fixed fees. Many of you may also know that legal aid is no longer available in divorce cases. There are some exceptions such as there having been domestic violence but in the main those who would have previously been able to claim legal aid or Legal Help as it was called will no longer be able to do so.
For those people who are on a tight budget they face two options, they either act for themselves or they pay a solicitor to act for them.
The divorce process can be a minefield and you should always get legal advice on what your options are and what is best for you. The divorce petition may look like a simple document but one mistake could be a very costly one. You may not be saving yourself money
You have decided that you need some legal advice as there are problems with your spouse or your partner. Here are some top tips to help you in making the best out of your first information gathering meeting.
1. Choose a solicitor who specialises in family law. Someone may have been recommended to you or you can search the Law Society’s website https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/choosingandusing/findasolicitor/view=solsearch.law under their Find a Solicitor page and this will detail the solicitor’s years of experience, which areas they specialise in and whether they are accredited specialists such as being a member of the Family Law Panel. You can also search the Resolution website which is an organisation of family lawyers. https://www.resolution.org.uk/
2. Booking the appointment. Try to book the appointment when you are free to spend as long as you may need with the solicitor. There’s little point booking an appointment when you have to dash off after 20 minutes to pick the
On the 17th July 2013 The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill received royal assent and this means it has now become law. It is predicted that the first same sex marriage will take place in summer 2014.
This legislation will introduce civil marriage for same sex couples, and enable religious organisations to opt in to conduct same sex marriages if they wish to do so.
The Act will also enable civil partners to convert their partnership to a marriage and would enable married transsexual people to gain legal recognition in their acquired gender without having to end their marriage. However this will follow later than summer 2014 as it will take government departments longer to implement all the necessary processes.
If you are thinking about divorce or separation an initial meeting to discuss your options can really help put your mind at ease. You should know what options are available to you and what your potential claims regarding money will be so that when you and your partner or spouse discuss ending the relationship you will know what you are entitled to and how best to proceed.
We can see you outside of office hours, if you wish as we understand that you may not be able or want to take time off work during the day. If you want an appointment at the weekend we can book you in.
We also have Skype so you can have a face to face meeting without the need to travel to our office.
Our office is in Rugby and we are ideally situated for clients who live in Daventry or Coventry or in the surrounding villages.
