Our first stop was the beach,barely five miles away along muddycountry lanes. Blackpool Sands, a wide,open beach flanked by high trees onsteep, wooded cliffs, must look terrificunder a hot sun.This is also a handy spot to join theSouth West Coastal Path, great forwalkers.

WhenGerman E-boats attacked US infantrydivisions rehearsing for the Normandylandings, more than 600 men were lostin the darkness.Some days, it was a bit chilly to walk,so what could be better than a visit toTotnes, beloved among elderly hippiesand anybody else determined to escapemodern Britain?Did Mary Portas pass this way whenshe tried to find a future for Britain’shigh streets? Totnes embraces visitors,its shops stuffed with fine local foods,including delicious breads and cheesesmade locally, and gleaming fresh fruitand veg.There’s mountains of cheap clothingin the market square, bookshops floggingnearly new titles in untidy heapsfor a pound or two, and lectures onfighting globalisation or becoming avegan.For lunch, the granary bread sandwichin The Brioche was so crammedwith crayfish, rocket and parmesanthat my wife and I had to share it.It helps, of course, that Totnes wasprobably designed by John of Gauntrather than Tesco, on a gradient whichgets steeper after you pass beneath thesplendid medieval arch.

No mention of the £385Court fees then! Besides, it alsoenables you to engage with yourexpert at what is often an importanttime in the separation, namelythe beginning of it.marriage or civil partnership doesnot mean that expert adviceshould not be sought. Peopleshould look for members of Resolution(formerly the SolicitorsFamily Law Association) as theytend to specialise in Family Law.Check their website for accreditedexperts (www.resolution.org.uk). Whilst a divorce or civilpartnership is generally only apaper exercise, it does not meanpaperwork is not problematic.The Court is very particular asto the legal and factual requirements.It can be extremelydifficult to try and correct theseerrors later on, my experiencebeing that matters become soentangled the proceedings haveto be started afresh. So calledonline providers, have in myexperience issued proceedingsconvenient for them.I recently again discovered thiswhen acting for a Lancashire dentistYes about that. Isn’t it just acase of the parties talkingthrough matters with a mediatorwho can act for themboth so no solicitor needs tobe involved?No. A mediator can give legalinformation but not advice. They,themselves will advise the partieswithout a solicitor that theyshould have one! Remember, infinancial matters, this is your onechance to secure your financialfuture on exiting the marriage.No second chances. Valuationsneed to be properly undertakenand in any negotiation a personprotected from the possibility ofcoercion or undue influence. Mostparticularly, it is important toensure there is a full and properdisclosure so proper informeddecisions can be made.It is rarely the case that somethingis discovered further downwhose online divorce the line that was notdisclosed,although if that was true, it wouldhave the potential to unravel theentire settlement. Business andshareholding valuations, liquidityissues, copper-bottomed assetssuch as bricks and mortar versusmore variable risk-laden illiquidassets? It can be a very complexarea.What is your experience of asolicitor’s view of any childaspects to a separation?Well, any Family Law specialist,particularly an accreditedResolution expert, will know thatfirst consideration in the financialaspects of a divorce or civilpartnership dissolution will bethe children’s needs.In a child dispute, their welfareis paramount. Anything elsewould be relevant but secondaryto their welfare. You have to bechild-centric. They are not a makeweight issue, nor should they everbe. Besides, what makes this sucha great and challenging area oflaw is that you deal with people,for all their attributes and faults.That includes their expectations,hopes and fears. All thatmay be good and bad in them. Youhave to give advice that is generallywelcomed but sometimes not.Advice has to be objective and itcan be very difficult to do so.You do tend to get to know yourclient well over the course of a dispute.They are not just names onyour worksheets. Who wouldwant it any other way?

It canaccommodate up to 3,000 worshippersand is very different inappearance to those the soldiersare likely to encounter in the villagesof Helmand.The mosque’s Imam Rashidspent almost three hours with thesoldiers.

Their parents told meof the transformation they haveseen in their children and havebeen amazed that they have beenso enthusiastic about coming in toschool lessons on a Saturday!As ever, I am also indebted tomy teaching colleagues and ourSixth Form students, who havebeen excellent mentors and theytoo have really enjoyed watchingthe children develop throughthe programme.”7 5BWIN BRIEF . . .A NEW library has officiallyopened in the BarlowInstitute in Bolton Road,Edgworth.
