Annika’s Diary # 3
I have been doing a wide variety of work these last two weeks including Domestic Violence applications, Conveyancing Matters, Divorce Matters, billing, and blogging too!
I have also visited court and observed family proceedings as well as making my own applications for an ex parte Non Molestation Order, an ex parte Prohibited Steps Order and a Residence Order.
I have progressed further along the Divorce procedure and I have now reached the stage of exchanging Financial Forms and raising the necessary questions to send to the other side.
These questions are made to query any issues or discrepancies that have arisen from reviewing the other sides Form E. I have continued to sit in on appointments with Jason Lewis and I have therefore been involved in new cases and issues that I have not yet encountered. This includes a transfer of equity case and a client who was seeking to obtain a separation agreement. I have encountered a number of new forms including a Form G and a Form H. I have continued to draft documents for Court including a request to adjourn a hearing, a consent order and a statement of service. I also prepared a Non Molestation and Prohibited Steps Order for a client I was representing in the County Court. I have continued to attend the County Court on a number of cases with Mr Lewis including an Issues Resolution hearing.
I’ve kept up with the Blogging!! I have provided a summary on a news story relating to the timescale for the completion of care cases. Go to www.lewisrodgers.co.uk and click on the ‘Blog’ link at the top right hand side of the homepage to read
