Keeping you up to date

The New Year often brings reflection and change for families. Increased pressures over the festive period can lead to questions about separation, parenting arrangements or children’s welfare. Early family law advice can help parents understand their options, prioritise children’s best interests and plan practical next steps before issues escalate.

Transnational marriage abandonment is a recognised form of domestic abuse that can leave parents and children stranded abroad and separated from family in England and Wales. This article explores how the family courts can assist through wardship applications, the limits of the Hague Convention, and the serious emotional and developmental impact abandonment can have on children.

Christmas can be a challenging time for parents navigating separation or divorce. With emotions running high and routines disrupted, careful planning and clear communication are essential. Drawing on decades of family law experience, this guide offers practical, child-focused tips to help separated parents reduce conflict, manage arrangements sensitively, and prioritise children’s emotional wellbeing during the festive season.

International Human Rights Day reminds us that dignity, safety, and fairness are everyday essentials protected in family law. The principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights guide matters such as safeguarding children, supporting victims of abuse, and ensuring fair financial arrangements. Goodman Ray say these rights shape daily legal practice, and Goodman Ray advise families on how to protect them.
