TRY AND KEEP PRIVATE LAW CASES OUT OF COURT

[Alison J Stevens]

The best idea is keep these Private Law cases out of the family law court scenario,and try and get the individuals to sort their problems out by counseling, via marriage guidance, there is also a waiting list for Guardians to be appointed, because of the increase in Care Proceedings.
It is a different case if there is violence recorded in a relationship, obviously, that would have to go through via the family courts.
Another problem is the finance involved within Private Law, we are dealing with a case at present, of which the mother has been diagnosed with a personality disorder,and has got through £25000 in legal fees,with regards to her first Solicitor, we have managed to change Solicitors due to the formers bad practice,and at present the new solicitor is having problems with the legal aid funding, so it looks like PAIN is going to have to supply a Mackenzie friend, this case has been going on for many months.
So if possible, it is best to settle the dispute by themselves,also preventing a biased Guardians opinion.
