One Couple, One Lawyer — the amicable approach to divorce
Separating doesn’t have to be an acri- monious process. Based on the Resolu- tion Together concept, Wendy Hopkins Family Law Practice’s new One Couple, One Lawyer service is designed for couples that are seeking an amicable separation and wish to work collab- oratively. Tis is a true alternative to the traditional adversarial approach, which is often the cause of many negative consequences for those separating and their children. Instead of each party instructing
their own solicitor, both work with one neutral lawyer who will look after both of them, working hard in the best interests of their family. Tis model is designed for couples who share a mu- tual commitment to resolving matters constructively. Each person is heard and legal guidance is provided jointly — making the process simpler, faster and often significantly more affordable.
WHY CHOOSE ONE COUPLE, ONE LAWYER? Firstly, it’s collaborative — encouraging an amicable atmosphere, which aims to reduce conflict and acrimony. Secondly, it’s efficient — both parties receive the benefit of the same legal advice at the same time. Tirdly, it’s bespoke — both parties can actively participate in crafting solutions that meet their unique needs and priorities. Cost-effective: With one lawyer, you won’t be charged for communication
between two solicitors, or for separate appointments.

No Deposit? No Problem. Help your kids move out with April Mortgages
ARE YOUR GROWN-UP KIDS STILL LIVING AT HOME? Longing for a full fridge, fewer laun- dry piles and a little more peace and quiet? You’re not alone. Te average first-time buyer in the UK is now around 34 years old. Back in the 1990s, it was common
to be on the ladder by your mid 20s. Today,
rising prices, hefty deposits
and tighter mortgage rules mean your kids in their 30s are still not budging. In 2023 alone, the Bank of Mum and
Dad handed over a staggering £9.4 billion in gifts and loans to first-time buyers. If you’re torn between funding their future or finally booking that dream holiday (and reclaiming your living room), here’s a thought: what if you didn’t have to choose? What if April Mortgages could help your kids finally pack their bags?
April backs first-time buyers where
others won’t: • 100 % loan to value mortgages with no deposit required, for household incomes from £24,000.
• Up to 7× loan to income for appli- cants earning more than £50,000, with at least a 15 % deposit.
WHY APRIL? Because it turns ‘still saving’ into ‘finally moving’. April’s process is simple: its fees are
transparent and the team genuine- ly gets it. Starting out is tough. Jobs change, savings take time and not everyone has a deposit ready to go. Tat’s why April’s flexibility is built for real life. Whether they’ve saved a deposit or
need a 100 % mortgage, April could make the move happen, with the se- curity and peace of mind that modern longer term lending offers.
If you’re torn between funding their future or finally booking that dream holiday, here’s a thought: what if you didn’t have to choose?
