Putnam Family Court - Deals With The Delicacy of Family Matters

The main concern of the Family Court in reaching a decision is how best to protect the welfare of any children involved. This is the paramount concern of the judge - there is never a jury in the Family Court. If the family has no children and the case involves finances the court will base its decision on the factors in Section 25 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973. Your solicitor can tell you how each of the factors applies to you and what whatkind of decision the court may make. In some of the cases, the court will consider spoken evidence of the parties in court, but more usually only written evidence is provided. The lawyer will offer proper guidelines to as to how to present the case of both the parties. The court will consider only evidence and facts that are relevant to the case. If a court does not have enough information to make a decision on a case it will make 'directions'. These directions could be for further statements to be filed by the parties or for a number of bodies of experts to provide reports to the court, for example the police, the local authority, a child's school or doctor or CAFCASS, the body that represents the interests of children in the Family Court.

If the property has your name on the mortgage, the company has the right to pursue you for the payments if they stop irrespective of the fact whether you live or not at the property.
