I regularly get asked ‘Oohh I bet divorces went up in lockdown?’. Here Rosalyn Bever comments on the interesting stats that divorce rates actually fell in 2020 - whilst couples seemingly focussed on homeschooling and the other factors that may have brought them together.

So good to see you Matt!

A different day out of the office today - talking to year 9 students at their Aspirations Event about life as a solicitor. Thank you Bishop Challoner Catholic College for having us! It was so nice to hear the students’ thoughts on law and routes to qualification! Olivia Sinclair_IM Catherine Lee

So nice to hear (we were scared we would send them all to sleep!) Great engagement and questions throughout the day 😊

‘Your thoughts become your destiny’ Thank you Grace Mullis and Michelle Chapman for organising and inviting me to a great event at the Irwin Mitchell Birmingham office. The presentation by Harriet Waley-Cohen was on ‘Resilience and Self Belief’.

Check out my comments on ground-breaking victory in the Family Courts for people with surrogate children. It’s so important that before embarking on a surrogacy journey, everyone involved takes specialist legal advice to understand their legal status. imprivateclient.passle.net/post/102hob4/c…

What a lovely way to end the week - a 5⭐️review from a client Clare Wiseman and I assisted through the Collaborative Divorce Process. This was my first Collaborative case & it was inspiring to see how separating couples & lawyers can work together to reach a fair settlement.

As part of #SurrogacyWeek, Hannah Saxe discusses the recent case H v UK; exposing the stark reality of surrogacy law in the UK, and what happens when surrogacy relationships sadly breakdown. imprivateclient.passle.net/post/102hu2e/n…

Stop being fooled by the myth of a ‘common law marriage’ and make sure you protect yourself if you’re cohabiting. Emma Hopton shares her expertise here - have a read and contact us in the Irwin Mitchell family law team if you have any questions!

Such kind words from this client. A lot of people don’t think about what happens on separation until they are thrown in the deep end. It’s so nice to hear we were able to make this process less daunting. Thank you Dan Moreton for assisting on this case with care & efficiency!
