Last week Frances Irving of Des Voeux Chambers sat with our Caroline McNally to discuss about her journey from Scotland to Hong Kong and her passion for Family Law. Frances delivered amazing advice for young talents who wish to build a career as family lawyers - might they choose the bar or the private practice route. Frances and Caroline also reflect on the difficult situation many people go through during separation or divorce and how to best manage it and move forward. They conclude talking about cases involving international families and children relocations. https://lnkd.in/gevbYf9S #Podcast #FamilyLaw #Barrister #Solicitor #CareerAdvice #Divorce #Separation #Relocation

Relocation to another country is an important life decision, and the situation can become quite complicated, especially when separated or divorced parents have different opinions about moving overseas with their children. It is extremely important to have a full understanding of the legal requirements for applying for changing residence to another country and the factors that parents should weigh in. Our Catherine Tso discusses the topic in an article published today on Hong Kong Economic Times' Legal Think Tank column.

Today our Ming Chak Raphael Wong emphasizes the importance of prioritizing children's best interests when dealing with issues as custody, care and control, and access. He also highlights the Family Court's jurisdiction, the importance of co-parenting, the role of mediation, and the critical need to avoid using children as bargaining chips, ultimately advocating for open communication to foster a stable environment. https://lnkd.in/guHeMUeY #LegalIssues #Divorce #ChildWelfare #Custody #CoParenting #FamilyCourt #Mediation #OpenCommunication #HongKong #FamilyLaw

In the face of the high cost of home ownership, more and more parents choose to support their children's home purchase through down payment or even property gifts. However, buying a first home is often tied to a marriage commitment, which means that parental sponsorship may be seen as a wedding gift, causing legal controversy in the unfortunate event of divorce in the future. Our Ming Chak Raphael Wong discusses the topic in an article published yesterday on Hong Kong Economic Times' Legal Think Tank column.
