Costs Orders in Family Law Proceedings

Costs Orders in Family Law Proceedings

Your ex-partner has threatened to take you to Court and tells you that if they do, you will have to pay their legal costs. Is this true? This tends to be a common ‘threat’ made by people following a relationship breakdown. The likelihood of this happening, however, may not be as realistic as your former partner would like you to believe.

The importance of updating your will post separation

The importance of updating your will post separation

Estate Planning is one of those things that we know we should do, however it is often one of the things that we never get around to. Or if we do, we put it in the drawer and don’t think about it again.

But this is not the case. Your Will is something that you should review every two to three years to ensure that it still reflects your wishes. You should also review your Will if there has been a change in your personal circumstances or financial situation.
