A Family Law Update - Spring 2025

A 4 hour recording of our half-day masterclass, packed full of insights and updates from leading speaker Katharine Bundell of 4PB.

This recording provides family practitioners with a comprehensive review of current issues in Family Law, including:-

Finances:

Capital, debts, pensions, periodical payments and any new case law including the recent decision of Standish.

Katherine will also consider practice points for these areas such as non disclosure, valuations and expert reports. Katherine will look at the effect of the new FPR 2010 R 3A on Non Court Dispute Resolution and how it is being applied, and even the new phenomenon of digital manipulation of evidence.

Private Law Children:

In the second half, Katherine will consider private law children. Again, Katherine will look at the recent cases which are making a splash, consider the current trends and practice points for running an effective case and assisting clients.

There will be a deep dive into Older Teens, and how practitioners deal with them as subject children in private law cases: options for outside court support, longer term orders, when there should be a Guardian appointed and even the teen giving evidence in a fact finding or similar. Inevitably Katherine will consider these topics through the lens of domestic abuse and alienating behaviours.

Who this is for:

This is a course for those who are specialist family practitioners.

Level of expertise:

It will be accessible to all levels of qualification but the practitioner who will benefit the most should have a practice which is predominantly or wholly family law based.

Learning outcomes:

The delegates should leave feeling up to date on all the major current themes and with a working understanding of the most significant cases in financial remedy and private law children and some good practice points to assist in solving case load solutions.
