We have also worked with the Association of Lawyers for Children on a note for children practitioners.

On 6 March 2019 a select group of family lawyers came together in Resolution’s new offices to discuss the ‘mad riddle’ of Brexit, and the implications of a no deal scenario. Are there any positive possibilities on the horizon – the end of the EU Maintenance Regime perhaps? Or are we throwing away decades of careful co-operation, just as international elements of separation are on the rise? The debate may be academic by the time you are reading this, but the issues are likely to be in play one way or another for years to come.

Resolution held a roundtable discussion to consider the possible implications for family law practitioners of the UK exiting from the EU without a deal.
