‘No Fault’ Divorce – The End of the Blame Game https://www.tyndallwoods.co.uk/no-fault-divorce-the-end-of-the-blame-game/ Tue, 06 Sep 2022 12:06:13 +0000 https://www.tyndallwoods.co.uk/?p=14114 After many years of lawyers campaigning for reform, no-fault divorce is finally here and has brought about significant changes in the divorce process. Historically, there were five grounds for divorce in England & Wales with many divorcing couples only being entitled to ‘fault’ based grounds to petition a divorce. These ‘fault’ based grounds would often fuel acrimonious and often costly legal battles between divorcing parties.

What does the change mean for you?

Since reform to the law in Spring of this year, there is now only one ground for divorce in the UK, that the marriage has irretrievably broken down. Therefore, you must be certain that the marriage has ended, and that there is no chance of saving it. The only requirement needed to proceed with divorce is to provide a statement of an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. It also removes the option for a spouse to ‘defend’ a divorce.

The person who initiates divorce proceedings is the ‘applicant’ and their spouse is the ‘respondent’. The new legislation gives spouses the opportunity to make a joint application for divorce. In these circumstances the spouses will be known as ‘applicant 1’ and ‘applicant 2’.

Ultimately, the expectation is that divorce will now be quicker, cheaper and more amicable.

At Tyndallwoods we have a dedicated team of solicitors that can assist and guide you on the divorce, including finances, property and children. If you are would like to find out more about your rights please contact Anna Taylor, head of our Family Team on 0121 693 2222.

Snowdrop Memorial Service https://www.tyndallwoods.co.uk/snowdrop-memorial-service/ Mon, 14 Mar 2022 10:21:00 +0000 https://www.tyndallwoods.co.uk/?p=10821 Through words and music and silent contemplation we joined together in remembrance on Friday 11th March for our Snowdrop Planting service. What a joy it was to gather in person following the easing of COVID restrictions.

We shared readings. Recognising that grief is a Solitary Journey, however Comfort comes from knowing that others have made the same journey.

 

One morning, not tomorrow perhaps,

but the day after tomorrow,

or the month after next month…

One morning the dawn will wake you

with the inconceivable surprise:

your grief will have lost

one small amount of its force.

 

Be ready for that time

When you can feel for yourself

that these words are true

“You will not always hurt like this”.

These words are true.

If they do not reach your heart today

do not reject them:

keep them in your mind.

Make sure you have the Will and Lasting Powers of Attorney (‘LPAs’) that are right for you https://www.tyndallwoods.co.uk/make-sure-you-have-the-will-and-lasting-powers-of-attorney-lpas-that-are-right-for-you/ Wed, 17 Nov 2021 09:06:06 +0000 https://www.tyndallwoods.co.uk/?p=10307 As we move towards the end of the year you may be reflecting on ways to make sure that your affairs are in order. An important part of that could be to ensure that you have Wills and LPAs in place

Wills and (LPAs) should not be an automated system. Here at Tyndallwoods we believe that every client is unique.

Our aim is to try and make the process of making your Will and LPAs as simple and straightforward as possible but ensuring there are particular clauses in your Will relevant to your circumstances and recommended wording and supporting documents in relation to LPAs so that your attorneys make the right decisions for you.

As with most legal procedures there is a DIY ‘one size fits all’ approach but please do consult us for professional and bespoke advice.

Boddington’s Time to Shine https://www.tyndallwoods.co.uk/boddingtons-time-to-shine/ Thu, 30 Sep 2021 07:53:12 +0000 https://www.tyndallwoods.co.uk/?p=10110 As we move forward in the new normal it is a pleasure to visit our friends at Fieldings Auctioneers of Stourbridge to once again be able to see in person the many lots available in their auctions.

It has long been an ambition of Martin and Steve to have a Birmingham made Grandfather Clock in Tyndallwoods’ Victorian premises.  They were delighted to see “Boddington” as Lot Number 1111 in Fieldings’ September “Back to the Future” Sale by Auction.

Their bid was duly recorded and after a tense wait we are so pleased that Boddington finds a new home here with us at Tyndallwoods.

We hope you agree with us that he has a very special face and Judy’s next weekend task is a thorough clean and polish.

It is Boddington’s Time to Shine.

Any of you who knew of Boddington, please get in touch.
