Divorce & the Family Home - Practical Tips & Tactics

Introduction

With house prices reaching record levels and unprecedented interest rates on mortgages, keeping hold of the family home in divorce proceedings is becoming increasingly difficult but increasingly necessary. Those with children in particular need help in maintaining stability for themselves and their children.

No matter if you are keeping the property or preserving an interest in it, proper negotiation to protect your interest is crucial. This webinar will focus on ways in which interests can be determined, calculated and preserved. It will also look at modern trigger events and comment on those now considered to becoming archaic.

This webinar will also consider what happens at an interim stage and the court’s power to order a sale under the MCA 1973 and associated legislation.

There will be practical advice and tips to try to foresee and overcome typical problem areas, particularly pre-FDR.
