I found Amanda very easy to deal with throughout my divorce process. She responded quickly to my requests and understood what I wanted. She dealt with any correspondence from the other party efficiently and took my views into account wherever possible. Very happy to recommend her.

Another kind testimonial today;
I would like to thank you for the work you have performed on our behalf over the YEARS , all with a sense of humour, which was really needed at times, but with the necessary professionalism required in what is in reality a serious matter. It was a real pleasure working with you despite the arduous nature of the “journey”. Many thanks.

You have decided that you need some legal advice as there are problems with your spouse or your partner. Here are some helpful hints to help you in making the best out of your first information gathering meeting.
1. Choose a solicitor who specialises in family law. Someone may have been recommended to you or you can search the Law Society’s website under their Find a Solicitor page and this will detail the solicitor’s years of experience, which areas they specialise in and whether they are accredited specialists such as being a member of the Family Law Accreditation Scheme. Our Amanda Weaver is a member of the Family Law Accreditation Scheme. You can also search the Resolution website which is an organisation of family lawyers. https://www.resolution.org.uk/
2. Booking the appointment. Try to book the appointment when you are free to spend as long as you may need with the solicitor. There’s little point booking an
Amanda Weaver was the most kindest person and very caring with my case. She helped me out with my case all the way. She was always there for me by phone or in person and I would recommend Amanda to anyone.

There was an interesting article today about a study which reported that people who have been through a divorce are as healthy as couples in stable marriages.
The study by researchers from the University College London institute of education, London School of Economics and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine revealed that separation and divorce and remarriage might not be as bad for your health as previously thought.
Lead author Dr George Ploubidis, a population health scientist at the institute of education, admits he was surprised by the results. Previous studies have shown that relationship breakdowns can have a negative impact on health. He said: “I think the results we found are very interesting. We expected that when you have a lot of transitions in life, you have worse health but actually transitions such as separation and divorce do not have a long-term effect.”
Ruth Sutherland, the chief executive of Relate said: “This
I read an interesting and unusual article this week from the Law Society recommending couples who have pets to have a pet-nup, ie a pre-nup for their pet.
The leading pet charity Blue Cross conducted some research and found that over one in four divorces include a dispute over pets. Dogs and cats are the most fought over pets followed by horses, rabbits and guinea pigs.
Law Society President Andrew Caplen said:
‘Solicitors are usually the first port of call for people who are divorcing so perhaps we are a little on the cynical side – but we see the problems caused when relationships break down acrimoniously and it’s usually costly, stressful and emotionally draining for both parties.
‘Pets are part of the family so it makes sense to think about their welfare.’
Alyson Jones, rehoming development manager at Blue Cross, where many pets are rehomed following relationship breakdown, said:
