Children – Public Law

Looking after children can be a challenge to any parents. Sometimes Social Services may become involved with a family if there are concerns about the health and wellbeing of a child or children. If this happens, access to expert legal advice is clearly essential, and we can provide that at Jackson Quinn.

We offer FREE ½ hour initial advice appointments.

We have specialist Solicitors based in Nottingham and across Nottinghamshire who will help and advise you through what can be an extremely distressing time. All of our Child Care Solicitors are members of Resolution and are accredited by the Law Society Children Panel and provide a high level of service.

Married and Civil Partnerships

When a relationship breaks down, it can be extremely stressful for everyone involved. If the couple are married or civil partners, they have a formal legal relationship and will need to consider the options as to what to do.

At Jackson Quinn we will guide you through the different ways of dealing with the situation, and advise you on what is the best option for you.

When a relationship ends, the couple involved have a number of issues to consider, such as:

What should they do about the relationship itself?

What will happen to any children?

What will they do about money, assets and financial matters generally?

The first thing to consider is whether the relationship is definitely over, for example, it may be appropriate to consider seeing a counsellor or attending mediation. At Jackson Quinn we are able to recommend reputable services that may assist.

Domestic violence includes psychological, emotional and sexual abuse as well as physical abuse. At Jackson Quinn, we understand the distress and fear that may be experienced and we can support and advise about the legal protection available in these circumstances, as well as signposting to other organisations who can offer practical help and emotional support. We have strong links with Nottinghamshire Women’s Aid and can help find temporary refuge accommodation if required.

Will Planning

Making a Will is neither complicated nor expensive but is often something that people put off doing. Jackson Quinn offer a fixed fee Will drafting service and at your initial appointment, will provide you with a clear timescale as to when your Will will be completed. Wills can also be prepared on an urgent basis should the need arise and home visits can also be undertaken.

There are many advantages to making a Will including:-

• You decide who will benefit from your Estate. If you die without making a Will i.e intestate, then the Intestacy Rules will determine who receives your Estate.
• If you die intestate it is not necessarily the case that your spouse will inherit your whole estate.
• A Will enables you to leave a specific monetary legacy to perhaps a relative, friend or charity or a specific item (perhaps of sentimental value) to someone.
