Post-divorce emigration; the issues

November 16th, 2011 | Posted by Admin in Misc - (Comments Off)

One of the more prevalent cases of late for divorce solicitors is the issue of post-divorce emigration with a child whose parents are of different nationalities.

For a multitude of reasons, more children are being born to parents from different countries, but unfortunately the amount of relationship breakdowns is not decreasing. After a breakup, it is understandable that a parent will want to return to their home, to the support of their family and to a place they feel safe, but this isn’t always easy if a child enters the equation.

In the UK, consent from the other parent is required to leave the country with your child, even for a holiday. Criminal abduction charges can arise if you flaunt this obligation. This being the case, it is prudent for both parents to discuss the issue beforehand, although as you can imagine this is not always easy after a stressful breakup.

There are certain questions the other parent will want answered, and certain obligations on the mover. Assurances will need to be given that accommodation will be available and will meet a certain standard, that the child will have access to education, that financial resources will be available, and, perhaps most importantly, that the child’s contact with the other parent will not be interrupted. The more evidence that can be given to assure the other parent that these things will be in place on arrival, the more likely they are to consent to the move.

If the UK family court decides it is in the child’s best interest to move, despite lack of consent from one parent, they can override the decision. This option should not be relied on though, as much information and evidence will need to be given, similar to that discussed previously. It should be noted that the main concern of the court (and hopefully the parents) is the child’s welfare.

Things to Consider When Obtaining a Lawyer in Los Angeles

July 29th, 2010 | Posted by Admin in Misc - (Comments Off)

A Los Angeles lawyer knows and respects the authentic meaning of justice and law, and realizes his or her ability to have a significant effect on many people’s lives. The practice of law can be an educational and expanding experience whether it’s a case related to personal injury, real property, individual rights, criminal issues, family law or something else.

When a legal problem comes up that may need legal attention one can consult with a Los Angeles attorney about the situation and the individual’s legal responsibilities and rights as soon as possible. Many states have deadlines or statutes of limitation within which time frame the lawsuit must be filed, and this statute is particularly relevant in cases of personal injuries.

An attorney can be associated with a group or corporation or they may have a private practice. Often beginning attorneys will start practicing law with a large firm and then later move into private practice where they are called solo practitioners.

They can also specialize in various areas. There are, for example, transactional lawyers whose primary focus is to help their clients avoid legal problems and they might write contracts or certain types of business letters for the company. Los Angeles litigation attorneys work with broken contracts and other similar problems.

When a lawyer works with individuals rather than with corporations or other businesses there must be a mutual commitment from the client as well as from the attorney. Their primary job is to be sensitive toward the individuals involved and toward the issue of law, and if, for whatever reason, the client does not fully cooperate the lawyer cannot provide the best service.

An attorney needs analytical and objective skills to be able to identify the client’s problem and then be responsive toward it. The plan lawyer formulates as a result of his or her research should be an outcome that satisfies the concerns and desires of the clients as well as meeting the requirements of the law.

Finding and choosing the best attorney for a specific situation, one should ask for references and then ask the references previously prepared questions. If satisfied with the answers they give, it is time to meet with the Los Angeles lawyer, ask questions prepared ahead of the meeting and make a decision.
