The Divorce UK iPhone/iPad app, created by the top family and divorce lawyers at Mills & Reeve, is one of the top 500 apps in the world according to The Sunday Times App List 2012.

The Sunday Times suggests that the free app can prove a cost effective solution for those considering the implications of divorce. “Given the cost per hour of legal advice, this app could save you a great deal of money if it reduces the amount of time you spend speaking to a solicitor,” it explains.

The long running saga of Kernott and Jones finally came to an end in November 2011, after some three years of litigation, appearances before 4 levels of courts and the opinions, indeed Judgements, of some 10 Judges, from the original trial judge at Southend on Sea county court to Judges sitting in the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court. 

The Government is shortly due to publish its response to David Norgrove's Family Justice Review, which Mills & Reeve's Nigel Shepherd commented on very recently. One of the more controversial aspects of the Review was the recommendation that there shouldn't be any presumption inserted into the legislation that post-separation a child should have a relationship with both parents.

Alison Bull recently qualified to provide direct consultation with children in mediation, adding to the array of services Mills & Reeve's dedicated family lawyers can provide their clients. Very few mediators currently hold the qualification.

The appeal from the Court of Appeal to the Supreme Court was heard in May and the Judgement of Lord Walker, Lady Hale, Lord Collins, Lord Kerr and Sir Nicholas Wilson is expected this Wednesday.  Below is an outline of the case to date.
