Whether you are going through a divorce or separation, deciding on the arrangements for the children can be complicated. As parents, you have a responsibility for your children’s well-being. It should reassure you that there is clear guidance set out within the law to protect the rights of your children.
We all plan for the future; whether it’s a career, a home, or a family, we all have a direction for our life. Whilst we hate to ponder if the unimaginable could happen to us, it is always better to prepare for all circumstances, and your health and finances should not be any less important. Making a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) will give you and your family peace of mind should the unfortunate happen.
Whilst we all have our own preferences on the standard of living, a standard that is not acceptable is a home in disrepair.
It is a legal right for tenants to live in a safe environment and it is a legal obligation for your landlord to repair any issues that may compromise it. If you rent from a Housing Association, or a Local Council, you may be entitled to compensation if they fail to repair the property.
Hopefully most of us won’t need to know what medical negligence is, but as doctors are only human, it is likely that medical mistakes will continue to happen.
When lawyers talk about medical negligence, we are referring to carelessness, or substandard care, that has been provided by a medical professional to a patient, which has directly caused injury, or has caused an existing condition to get worse.
Parental responsibility is automatically obtained by the mother at the time of birth. A father will obtain it by either being married to the mother, or by being named as the father on the child’s birth certificate.
If your rented property is in disrepair, it’s your landlord’s responsibility to fix it.
As a tenant you have the legal right to live in a property safe and free from any issues of disrepair.
Your landlord has a legal obligation to repair your property and maintain it to a reasonable standard.
