Interview with Unicorn Magazine

September interview with Stowe Family Law

Monthly interview with Claire McParland from Stowe Family law on family law matters. Here are the questions:

I wish to divorce my husband of 47 years but don't want to leave the family home although he does. Do I have a right of abode?

My mother recently passed away and left a Will which says none of her children or grand children are entitled to anything. The Will was written when she had severe dementia. Can we challenge this Will as her spoken intentions before the dementia set in were to leave everything to her family?

I'm having a bad time  with my wife. Can a lawyer recommend some sort of mediation rather than out right divorce?

I have separated from my wife who has racked up huge credit card debts. Am I part liable for these debts if we divorce?

My father keeps writing a Will using DIY Will kits. It works out to one every year and they are all different. Which one should we use if any?

Phil compares the Highland Gathering 2018



Harpenden Lions Highland Gathering was a great day out with a ‘Scottish flavour’ offering five pipe and drum bands, highland dancing competitions and displays as well as solo piping. Plus traditional highland games including ‘weight over the bar’, ‘tossing the caber’ and ‘putting the stone’. There were plenty of amusements for children including a funfair, climbing wall, rugby and golf challenges, the popular Kids’ Circle for younger children, opportunities to make sand art pictures and to use a potters’ wheel, face painting and electric Go-karts. And there were lots of food and drink too with beer and cider stalls run by local pubs. Adults and children enjoyed the charity and commercial stalls and the Crafters’ Marquee selling traditional and handmade items. The ‘Scot’s Corner’ sold Scottish fine food, clothing and crafts. Kilt wearing and clan associations were also in the Scot’s Corner. A raffle will took place throughout the day. That’s not all! Sideshows provided further entertainment and in addition there was a large classic cars and motorbikes display. A great day out with charities benefiting from the event.
