@Katelizelliott @FamilyLawHour Agreed, one would think that VAT was thought about when considering the affordability of school fees

@FamilyLawHour Absolutely, it is knowledge building for students and valuable support for Lip’s. However I agree that not too much should be expected in the circumstances

[Rachel Nicholl @RachelNicholl40]

@HannahGW_FLP @FamilyLawHour Absolutely agree. Some people, and this does not just apply to LiP, may also not have the resource to able to connect to remote hearings

[Rachel Nicholl @RachelNicholl40]

@FamilyLawHour Common response so far, but procedure and knowledge, both of which are understandable

[Rachel Nicholl @RachelNicholl40]

@FamilyLawHour It will ultimately depend on the equity, and the individuals corresponding mortgage capacity (plus any investments in their name)

[Rachel Nicholl @RachelNicholl40]

@FamilyLawHour Yes but there is a balance, and the worry of a costs order can aid settlement

[Rachel Nicholl @RachelNicholl40]

@FamilyLawHour It would certainly help!

[Rachel Nicholl @RachelNicholl40]

@FamilyLawHour Deposit came from the owners sole resources and for mortgage reasons

[Rachel Nicholl @RachelNicholl40]

@KarinKGW @FamilyLawHour Agreed. The soft skills, and skills I learnt generally, in my collaborative training, are invaluable to my day to day work. The training itself has far reaching benefits

[Rachel Nicholl @RachelNicholl40]

@KarinKGW @FamilyLawHour @TashFamilyLaw I agree about the public awareness point. I often find clients are aware of mediation as a concept, but not so familiar with the collaborative process

[Rachel Nicholl @RachelNicholl40]

@FamilyLawHour It really depends on the information they are provided about each process method. A clear explanation of the options, helps clients make fully informed decisions

2023 triathlon season has started. European Champs in Madrid turned duathlon due to poor water quality. Medalled and 2 in age category. Not too bad for a swimmer!

[Rachel Nicholl @RachelNicholl40]

@FamilyLawHour Informed, yes.

[Rachel Nicholl @RachelNicholl40]

@FamilyLawHour A lot of the terms have been said, but I think there is a tendency to over emphasis for example using words like ‘extremely’ or ‘wholly’ before inappropriate (just as an example)

[Rachel Nicholl @RachelNicholl40]

@LBDLegal @PLBeckett7 @FamilyLawHour I did this recently, and it worked!

[Rachel Nicholl @RachelNicholl40]

@Katelizelliott @FamilyLawHour Absolutely.being drawn into litigation by correspondence is so unhelpful. The correspondence is very rarely seen by a judge, so what is really the benefit of sending it

[Rachel Nicholl @RachelNicholl40]

@LBDLegal @FamilyLawHour Gosh that is awful, and helps no one

[Rachel Nicholl @RachelNicholl40]

I hear you, sometimes to point where you open the comms dreading what it will say

[Patricia Beckett @PLBeckett7]

@FamilyLawHour There are particular firms I don’t relish working with on a case due to the hostile, unhelpful and inflammatory correspondence. It does impact on us.
