I have time off for good behaviour - so skedaddling up to @ResFamilyLaw Future Practice Conference in Leeds - ask me about @Novalawuk and free trials of Nova Engage, 10 years of tech enabled NCDR and counting #FPConf24
Thank you to all those who have followed the journey of Family Law Lab over the past number of years.
We excitingly continue our #lawtech journey over at our new home, @Novalawuk and it would be wonderful if you could follow us there before we (fondly) retire the FLL platform.

I think clients want certainty first and foremost whichever 'formula' camp you are in

Q4: Should cases which deal with child maintenance top-up that fall under the Adjusted Formula Methodology category be dealt with by the CMS rather than the court?

May I suggest a round of applause to Dom Christophers for his spreadsheet @FamilyLawHour (and a reminder of the importance of firm’s retaining the IP in what a team member produces).

Formulas will always have their benefits and unfairnesses. For families close to the threshold but below it or conversely just above it, I can see it may create odd outcomes but for the majority it is sensible.

Yes, as one of the changes. Another is assessing the shared care no liability outcome. How can that be fair when one earns £25k and the other £125k?!

Q3: Should school fees be taken into account in the Adjusted Formula Methodology when the statutory formula used by the Child Maintenance Service does not? Is this not an inconsistent approach?

I'd have thought this would be helpful as it would offer guidance to try to limit disputes without binding the court.

Q2: Mostyn J in James v Seymour has said that the Adjusted Formula Methodology (AFM) should be a ‘loose starting point’. Has it been most people’s experiences that parties & the court have adopted the figure calculated from the AFM rather than departing from this?

Q1: Should child maintenance top-up be based on a formulaic approach, a discretionary approach or combination of both?

Q1: Should claims for unmarried couples have their own procedure governing those claims rather than the CPR (in the same way that family claims have the FPR)? #FamilyLawHour

Q2: What do you see as barriers to working collaboratively and how can they be overcome? #familylawhour
