Family Law

Failure to comply with court orders for contact or residence has in some cases led to prison sentences being imposed on parents for contempt of court. It is therefore important to understand the background of these cases and how these situations can be managed by Family Law Solicitors.

Another equally contentious area within family law relates to relocation of children which is an issue which can often lead to prolonged acrimonious disputes which are often litigated.

TThis seminar will look at both areas and provide practical guidance in relation to the following topics:

Consequences of non-compliance with a court order.

The standard of contempt of court.

The evidence required to establish contempt.

Likely penalties and available remedies.

Legal principles of relocation of children.

Relevant case law relating to relocation.

How to ensure continuing contact with non- resident parent.

Arguments likely to be successful or unsuccessful.

In addition to the content covered you will also be provided with detailed written notes including a style for a Minute for Contempt proceeding.

The event begins at 2pm. Delegate registration is open from 1:30pm.
