Solicitors and Barristers and Judges, oh my!
Even though many of the foundations of our legal system stemmed from our country’s history with England, there are many differences in today’s family law. On today’s episode, senior associate solicitor and mediator Nicole Phillips joins Seth and Pete to talk about divorce in England and what’s different about it here in the US.
It’s not just the wigs (though we learn that no one in family law wears them – they’re saved for criminal cases and the like) and the fact that they’re called solicitors, not lawyers. The handling of a divorce case involves solicitors and barristers. Who does what?
How do you handle kids? Pets? What’s spousal maintenance? Why does it seem so much less antagonistic and litigious than here in the States?
There’s a lot to cover but it makes for an eye-opening conversation. So tune in!
