Collaborative Family Lawyers

Looking For A Friendlier Way To Separate?

emmersonssolicitors

Collaborative Family Law is a new way of helping couples who are separating or divorcing. The aim is to avoid the stress and uncertainty involved in the usual court process.

You, your partner and your solicitors will work together at a series of round table meetings. The approach isco-operative rather than adversarial.

Usually the process is faster and cheaper than being involved in con-tested court proceedings.

Jacqueline Emmerson Solicitor has over twenty year’s experience of as-sisting clients with divorce andseparation. She is a trainedCollaborative Family Lawyer.

September, the month of separations!

CollaborativeFamilyLawyer

For some reason September sees a peak in the number of people separating from their partners. It is believed that one of the reasons is that a couple have been on holiday and spent more time together which serves to highlight their differences.

Whatever the reason, you do not need to panic. If you seek legal advice you will have all of the facts that you need at an early stage. Many client’s leave our office after their first appointment with a great sense of relief. Emmersons Solicitors Family Law Team have years of experience. We are members of The Law Society Family Law Panel and Jacqueline Emmerson, our senior partner, is a Collaborative Family lawyer. With all of our experience we are able to dispel the myths surrounding separation. Advice given by your friends in the pub is no substitute for legal advice.

The usual way to approach matters is to gather all of your financial information eg. How much is your home worth, how much is left to pay on the mortgage, do you have other savings and investments, and do you have debt?

The next stage is to swap both parties finan-cial information. At that stage it may be very easy to negotiate a settlement. If matters are more complicated then you could opt to at-tend meetings with your ex-partner and both solicitors. This can be a very speedy method of filling in gaps in financial information. It is often possible in a first meeting to narrow many issues still in dispute.

If you don’t want to come face to face with your ex-partner you can still attend a meet-ing whereby the solicitors meet in a room and use separate rooms to see each of their clients.

If you feel that you could both negotiate in an attempt to avoid court proceedings then Collaborative Family Law could be the answer. This process involves meetings as above. However, you both sign to say that you are committed to the process. The idea is to make you both work harder to find so-lutions that will avoid the adversarial nature of court proceedings. Clients usually com-ment that they feel more in control of their separation using Collaborative Law.

Looking at the processes above should help you to see how straightforward matters can be. You don’t have to worry about the law; your solicitor is there to guide you through the legal complexities allowing you to con-centrate on moving forward.

Keep Calm and Seek Help.

DAFT AS A BRUSH CHARITABLE TRUSTDaft as a Brush Charitable Trust was founded by Brian Burnie to provide free transport for Cancer outpatients that, be-cause of their illness, have to undergo Chemotherapy and/or Radiotherapy treatment. There is no charge to the patients for the service that entails collecting and transporting the patients in a safe and comfortable environment from where they are living, taking them to where they will be having their treatment and, if required, staying with the patient whilst they have their treatment and then bringing them back home. The patient’s transport is a fleet of brand new Nissan NV 200 seven seater people carriers that are staffed by two persons, a Chauffeur and a Companion. The target/goal is to create a world-class organisation that is capable of transporting 50,000 cancer patients per year.If you are interested in becoming a VOLUNTEER either visit our website www.daftasabrush.org.uk to download an application form or send us a stamped addressed envelope to 3-5 Hood Street, 1st Floor Grainger Chambers, New-castle upon Tyne, NE1 6JQ or call in to our Hood Street office (we are between the Vivienne Westwood shop and the Newcastle Building Society branch on the first floor) to have an informal chat with one of our staff.

At the moment it is all looking just a little fragile and precarious. Room for improvement is the least we can say.

Why not suggest something like another bank holiday? That would certainly appeal to the popular vote. Or even a national fancy dress day when we all have to go about our daily duties in an outfit of our choice? An assorted array of the good the bad and the ugly would certainly see September at last beginning to set the pace. It is just an idea. There must be more.

In the meantime, until my campaign to abol-ish September gathers momentum we will just have to stick with you for the time being. But you have been warned. Your time is run-ning out.

This could be your last year as we look for-ward to October already.

GOODBYESEPTEMBERThat’s it. It is time we changed the calendar. Let’s delete September completely. We are better off without it. And once it has gone I am sure it will not be missed.

Before you start looking for the strait jacket let me point out the facts. It is the most boring month of the year. Nothing happens in September. And this year it is all the more painful as it follows one of the most exciting periods of all time. Yes, July and August were lucky enough to claim the Olympic Games and leave other months with an act that is just impossible to follow.

If September was boring without having to somehow rise to the levels of such high octane moments how on earth is it supposed to follow on now? All this particularly dull and lifeless period signals is the end of the summer holidays, the start of school and the countdown to winter where everything is just long and dark.

There are not even any great celebratory moments. At least other months can claim such landmarks as New Year’s Day, Christmas Day, Halloween, bonfire night, Valentine’s Day, the Grand National, bank holidays, summer solstice, shortest day of the year and even the Queen’s birthday. The list is endless.

In comparison September stands in splendid isolation. Nothing, zilch, zero. Come on I am sure you can do better. At least have a think about and put forward some reasons why you should remain as one of our 12 months of the year.
