We’re pleased to announce a Zoomchat with Paula Rhone-Adrien, an award-winning and renowned family law barrister with over two decades of experience, who will be chatting to Mumsnet HQ on Tuesday 2 March from 7pm to 8pm. You can book your place using this zoom link.
Paula regularly attends Court representing clients across the social spectrum, from the Magistrates' Court to the Court of Appeal, in a range of areas including: divorce and finances; disputes between parents regarding where their child should live or how much time they should spend with the other; the region/country a child should live in; child welfare, be that the concerns of social services regarding negligent parenting (sexual, physical or emotional abuse) or one parent accusing the other; and domestic abuse (representing the alleged victim or the alleged perpetrator).
Paula has worked with a number of broadcast networks and TV production companies in the UK. You can listen to Paula on this episode on marriage on BBC Woman’s Hour. You can read Paula’s previous webchats here and here.
If you've been thinking about separation or have questions about your rights and legal position when it comes to relationships, domestic abuse and divorce or separation, tune in for a chance to hear Paula’s advice to Mumsnetters. Book your place now by registering here. It’s free and it’s first come, first served.
Please do not send us your questions in advance - only attendees will be able to ask questions either in the chat box or live.
Please note that any answers from Paula will be the general stance taken by the Family Courts as opposed to specific to the individual’s case - and please do not include any names or anything that could identify where the person/child lives.
(Please note: if you join the Zoom chat, your camera will be turned off by default. Your screen name will be visible, so consider whether you’re happy to use your RL name or want to use your MN posting name, or something else entirely. We might ask you to turn your audio on if you want to read your question out ‘live’.)
Thanks
MNHQ
Edited to add information about the length of the Zoomchat.
WEBCHAT GUIDELINES: 1. One question per member plus one follow-up. 2. Keep your question brief. 3. Don't moan if your question doesn't get answered. 4. Do be civil/polite. 5. If one topic or question threatens to overwhelm the webchat, MNHQ will usually ask for people to stop repeating the same question or point.
