You may have already started your preparations for Christmas with Christmas shopping and festivity preparation. In the midst of the festivities have you communicated to your children what is happening over Christmas?
When parties divorce and the Courts become involved in resolving financial disputes, they can order that one party to the marriage pays the other spousal maintenance for a period of time, via a Periodical Payments Order (PPO).
Earlier this month, the Ministry of Justice launched the new Online Divorce Service as part of its £1bn initiative to reform the justice system. This new service allows couples to apply for an uncontested divorce digitally, upload evidence and make payments from their homes. By allowing divorces to be completed at the click of a mouse removes the need to fill in paper forms and send them to the court manually.
