Re: Legal rights after leaving marital home

Unfortunately, I have to agree with this. In addition, a particularly vicious lawyer might argue the case of not meeting the basic emotional needs of both children. I would strongly recommend a hefty...

Re: Approximately how much should I expect to spend as a UK GP planning the move

Hello :wave:
FHG/FHO/FHT/FFS payment methods are still a bit confusing. Almost everyone I know uses FFS. How is FHG superior to FFS and doesn’t FHG have number of clauses attached?
