Welcome to ManDad’s Family Law section
We’re busy building a library of information and resources to help Dads navigate the family legal system, including court applications and how to represent yourself as a litigant in person.
Legal Aid funding has been stripped away over the years, and so more people are going it alone, with no solicitor and no advocacy.
Each month in ManDad Magazine, we’ll bring you news regarding family law issues and provide you with relevant and useful information.
If you are a family solicitor and interested in contributing, please get in touch. Similarly, if you are part of a charity, law clinic, or community group concerning family law, we’d love to hear from you.
Areas we’ll be covering:
| Abduction Access to information Adoption Adoption (non-agency) Advocacy Alternatives to ending a marriage or Civil Partnership Bullying Care orders Changing a child’s surname Child abuse Child employment Child In Need Child Protection Conference & Plan |
Children’s services – referral, assessment and outcome Consent Orders Contact Contact with a child in care Coronavirus: Separated families and contact Direct Payments Divorce Domestic abuse Education for Looked After Children Ending a Civil Partnership Family and friends care Family mediation Home alone |
