For anyone dealing with the law it is well known that things can get complicated and stressful for all the involved parties. It is always helpful to have a family law solicitor who is experienced and who is well known to get results and fast. This is a major problem these days since the law is also a business and it is a sad fact that a long drawn out cases are more profitable than those which are resolved quickly.

I know of a family law solicitor in Liverpool who tries to achieve quick results and is also a very nice person. He works for a firm of family law solicitors Liverpool city centre and is honest enough to admit that some family solicitors in Liverpool do overcharge and delay things in order to make more money. This is not fair to the parties involved but it is the way that a lot of solicitors behave, leading to a bad reputation for the whole industry.

Separation and divorce

Separation is when you and your partner stop living together in a domestic or marriage-like relationship. There are no legal processes to become separated. Divorce is the official ending of marriage. You can apply to the court for a divorce together or on your own. A divorce does not sort out issues relating to children or property.

Costs

In family law cases you usually pay your own legal costs and court fees. Cost orders can be made in some circumstances.If you need a lawyer, but cannot afford to pay, you may be eligible for legal assistance.

Lawyers, costs and legal aid

It is a good idea to speak to a lawyer experienced in family law before making any important decisions. A lawyer can:

. Explain what you are entitled to, your responsibilities, obligations and rights
. Advise you about your situation, which may involve complicated legal issues
. Tell you about issues you may not have thought about
. Help you to negotiate in a dispute.

Do not rely on family and friends for legal advice.

Running your own family law case

You can represent yourself in court, but it’s not easy. You need to know about the law and the court process. You will need to prepare and research well before filing court documents and presenting a case in court.The Family Law Courts website has information for people who are representing themselves.

A divorce will be granted by the county court if you can show the marriage no longer exists. Legally, this is known as the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. The court will look at the evidence to prove that your marriage has irretrievably broken down. The court will accept any of the following as proof: adultery, unreasonable behaviour, and desertion, two years separation with consent or five years separation. It is advisable to find a firm of family law solicitors in Liverpool, or wherever you may be, which has built up a good reputation of being reliable and efficient as well as reasonably priced.

Whether you know it or not, you are always either attracting or repelling things all day long based on the `energy’ signals you’re sending out at any given time. In order to attract your right mate, it is imperative that you understand the universal laws that govern this energy so that you can begin making better `conscious’ choices about the energy you choose to send out.

Depending on what source material you read or listen to, there are a number of universal laws. Some say there are twelve, some say there are six or seven, and some even say there’s really only one. For the purposes of this article, however, I am listing the three that I think are most relevant to attracting your soulmate.

Law of Vibration

The Law of Vibration states that everything that exists in life when reduced to its most primordial form is vibration or energy. From the tiniest atoms to plants to animals, cars, buildings, sound, light and man, all exist as vibrational masses made up of their own unique frequencies. As solid as a rock appears, if you were to look at it under a high powered microscope, you would see that it is teeming with activity, and that it is nothing but swirling pockets of energy coalesced together. So even solid matter is actually not solid at all!

The truth is your vibrations attract compatible energy in the universe. By learning to control the vibrations we are sending out through our thoughts and emotions and learning how to “consciously” keep our thoughts on what we want to attract, we have more control over what we bring into our lives, be it a mate or anything else.

Law of Resonance

Just like you tune your radio to your favorite station, you can tune yourself to receive those frequencies that resonate with your desired results. Radio stations transmit at a certain frequency, and when you adjust the knobs of your radio, you can match the outbound frequency of those stations. The same applies when it comes to the vibrational frequencies you emit through your thoughts and emotions. This is called Resonance. You are, literally, resonating a vibration and continuously attracting matching vibrational frequencies in the universe. This is why some people tend to attract the same kind of relationships over and over again even though those relationships may not be in their best interest.

Law of Attraction

This is the Law that most people are now aware of because of `The Secret’ and, consequently, there are many people who have tried to put this law to work according to `The Secret’ but have not gotten the results they wanted. The reason is because their efforts have been on the `conscious’ level instead of the `subconscious’ level.

Doing affirmations and putting together vision boards as `The Secret’ suggests helps to a degree, but, by themselves, will never work for long term results. What `The Secret’ fails to explain is that, in addition to doing these things, you have to do the deeper `subconscious’ reprogramming work to change your vibrational resonance in order to attract anything of real significance – especially, if what you are wanting is a far cry from what you are currently experiencing.

The good news is you really can use these laws to improve your life once you understand the components you’re working with (i.e. your conscious, subconscious, thoughts, emotions, vibrations, and resonance), and, also, correctly understand how to use them together to make positive changes within you that will lead to the outcomes you desire! It may sound complicated, but it’s really not. The truth is you use these same components all day everyday for everything you do. Only now, you’ll start using them `consciously’ as oppose to `unconsciously’. Happy Attracting!

Although we all have an understanding of what law is, and generally why it’s appropriate that it should be in place to serve and regulate our conduct in society, we seldom think of what law actually means in an everyday context. What is law for the average Joe in the street? How does law impact on our lives from day to day? Indeed, is the law a distant concept with which we find it hard to relate? In this article we will look at some of the fundamental ways law operates in society, in addition to the nature of the law as we know it.

For some people, they feel as though the law is there merely to protect their interests, and that they have no need for daily interaction. However, they assume that if the day comes where their behaviour is called into question, the law will operate, the course of justice will be run, and the will of the people will be fulfilled. This is perhaps a nave interpretation of the function of law, and indeed the way it operates in our lives throughout the day. For instance, at the top level we have the constitution, establishing parameters within which the government can and cannot act to protect the citizens of our nation. That has an overwhelming effect on the way in which our government and indeed our country is run, which has a knock on effect on everything we do throughout the day and how we do it. Even at a local level, the law interacts with the services we are provided, the jobs we work and pretty much everything to do with the lives we lead. A distant concept? I don’t think so.

The law does not just operate in criminal spheres, nor is it confined to merely constitutional matters and the distribution of power. Law is a significantly more sophisticated tool in the orchestration of the day-to-day organisation of society, through regulating not only personal conduct but also the way we act in business situations. Take for example the everyday task of boarding a train. The law regulates many aspects of this feat: (1) the criminal law and the constitution permits us to board public transport. (2) The constitution permits us to make contract with another. (3) The laws of contract permit us to form a contract for transport with the train company, and ensure that that contract is fulfilled. (4) The laws of contract and tort allow us to board without fear of injury, or with remedy should the worst happen. Finally the law of ownership and currency allows us to hand over money in consideration for this service, which is of value to the other contracting party. In fact, the law regulates just about everything we do, and is vital in doing so to ensure the smooth running of community and every aspect of our lives.

The law is not some abstract notion that can and will protect us when we need to rely on it. The law is an integral part of democratic life, and something which regulates our conduct, and in essence allows us to act according to our own desires within reason. Some may think the law is too restrictive in certain areas, but it works. The law serves its function as regulating our behaviour very well, and if it doesn’t? We can change it.

The fact is, law has been an important part of society since it began, with implied legal and social orders and boundaries that could not be crossed. Today, it is a sophisticated network of guidelines and regulations which is adapted to shape the way we live our lives from one day to the next. There is no doubt that the law is important to the citizen, and plays a profound impact on the lives of the people on a daily basis.

Retaining walls seem to be relatively simple structures; they often are. However, the law surrounding them can be a little confusing. Since you probably don’t want to run afoul of the law, it helps to familiarise yourself with what it says about retaining walls. You can educate yourself on this important topic below.

Who’s Responsibility Is It?

Unfortunately, retaining walls aren’t always needed on just a single property. From time to time, the situation requires that a retaining wall be built between two different properties. In such a scenario, who is responsible for having it built? This must be decided between the two parties; if an agreement can’t be reached, then the courts may need to get involved. Ideally, though, you’ll be able to work something out with your neighbour.

If a retaining wall is needed on the boundary of a property, it can sometimes be built just on one side of the boundary line. In fact, this is the ideal solution – the neighbour who actually requires the retaining wall should have it built on their side of the line. Occasionally, two neighbours may decide to go in on a retaining wall together. In that case, the most fair way to handle it is by having the retaining wall straddle both properties. In terms of costs, the neighbours should try to split them as equitably as possible.

What About Council Approval?

If your retaining wall will provide a difference in level of less than one metre, then you won’t need to seek Council approval. However, if the difference in levels exceeds that amount, then you’re going to need to get approval. Make sure that you know ahead of time what sort of level you’ll require. Otherwise, you’ll have to interrupt your work and seek Council approval in the middle of the project; if you fail to get approved, all of that work will have been for nothing.

Types of Retaining Walls –

You have several options when it comes to retaining walls. Concrete sleepers and vertical steel configurations are the most popular choices, since they are inexpensive and easy to build. Soil batter can be performed in cases where very little alterations need to be made to the level of the soil. If you’d like an especially attractive look, you might consider dry stone, moss rock or modular block retaining walls. These are vastly preferable to wood, since termites can make home in it. You should still have a pest inspection company check your home for termites from time to time, though, to be safe.
