Separated Parents & Parental Alienation. What Is It? Consequences & All You NEED To Know!

Around 45% of all children in the UK will experience a break-up of their parents, before their 16th birthday; a staggering statistic. Couples who have had children separate for various reasons, including financial pressures, unreasonable behaviour, or simply just growing apart. Unfortunately, what is very common after parents separate, is that one parent tries to erase the other parent from their child’s life; usually talking negatively about the other parent to their child/or children, trying to alienate the other parent from their child’s life. The term ‘Parental Alienation’ is given to a wide range of behaviours and actions carried out by the main and resident parent, which can be very subtle and manipulative towards the children. In this episode senior and specialist family Barrister Susannah Johnson KC and Hatti Suvari bring you insightful, jargon free legal information, and their top tips if you are the parent being alienated, how to work on changing the situation and how to get help, as always in plain and simple English. ...

The Great Rise Of Fraud. What It Looks Like & How To Protect Yourself!

The impact on people that have been ripped off by fraudsters can be financially devastating to lives; with many people loosing thousands of pounds to scams that come in various forms. For example, romance fraud, bank account scams, scammers pretending to be service providers or mail companies asking for a shortfall in postage all dressed up in different forms to extort money fraudulently from a victim. Fraud committed in the UK more than doubled in 2023 to £2.3bn, making it the second-biggest year for scams in the last two decades, and staggeringly accounting for 40% of all crime in England and Wales. In our digital world, the ways in which fraudsters are getting their hands on our money has vastly changed shape, with criminals using artificial intelligence, and every means of electronically contacting us, ie. Text, WhatsApp messages, direct messaging on social media sites, emails, phone calls and much more. In this episode, seasoned barrister Emma Kiver and Hatti Suvari bring you interesting and eye-opening conversation, discussing the different faces of fraud and the sophisticated avenues used by fraudsters, telling you what to look out for, and steps that you can take if you have fallen victim to fraud, as always, in plain and simple English. ...

Divorce. What Is NOT A Matrimonial Asset?

Whilst couples do not enter in to a marriage expecting to get a divorce and considering who should get what out of their marriage if the relationship comes to an end, the confusion on who gets what assets from the marriage, and why, along with the expense and stress that can come with getting a divorce, can be very confusing and a trying process. Divorcing couples who are unable to agree on who how the matrimonial home is divided, and how all of the assets and liabilities of the marriage are divided between them, are often left in the hands of a Judge to decide how their assets should be divided, often leaving divorcing couples with eye watering legal bills to pay, at the end of a lengthily legal process. With many marriages taking place between people who are well into their 30’s, 40s and 50’s plus, it is not unusual for individuals to enter in to a marriage having acquired their own assets. But in the eyes of the law, is it the case that everything each person owns, including assets that they brought in to the marriage, should be divided equally between the parties in a divorce? Can it be argued that assets that you brought in to the marriage are not 'joint' assets’, and that you should walk away with what you brought in? Or do our laws state that once you are married everything that you both owned prior to the marriage becomes a part of the matrimonial pot? In this episode, senior Barrister Michael George and Hatti Suvari discuss all of the above and much more; telling you what you NEED TO KNOW; as always, in Plain and Simple English. ... Read more

One Punch Killers

In a split second a person can become a killer or be killed. A One Punch Killer is when someone throws a single punch that results in a death, and often when the perpetrator does not intend to kill, but nevertheless, a single punch that has a devastating effect. But how is this dealt by our laws, when an unfortunate and unexpected criminal act is carried out, when the intention was not to kill and possibly the only intention was to have a good old-fashioned street brawl? Would the perpetrator be given any leniency in law? Controversy surrounds this topic; with questions being asked on ‘what is a fair price for someone to pay for causing a death, even though it was unintended?’. In some cases, it has been argued that long prison sentences should not be handed out due to an unfortunate event of death not being the intention by the accused, whilst campaigners demand tougher sentences. In this episode senior Barrister Simon Spence KC and Hatti Suvari will bring you interesting, insightful and jargon free conversation that you will hear nowhere else!

There are many myths on this subject, and surprisingly the UK legal age that you can have sex, engage sexually with another person using online Apps, drink alcohol and fly the nest, is NOT common knowledge! Furthermore, very few know which acts can be a criminal offence, and this has resulted in a sharp rise in young people getting on the wrong side of our laws! There are serious repercussions for a young person, if a complaint is made about them to the Police, if they have had sex with an underage person, or drinking alcohol where they’re not supposed to, and in many more circumstances.

Can I Claim For A Defective Property?

Buying a property can be a complicated and stressful process, and although the majority of property transactions proceed without a hitch, it is an unfortunate reality that innocent buyers can be left in a situation where they have purchased a property, that then shows defects and it needs to be fixed, through no fault of the buyers. In most cases, if you buy something and any defects where not outlined at the time of your purchase, then you can go back to the seller and legally ask for a refund. However, would that apply to a defective property? In this episode, Hatti and experienced barrister Antonia Halker tell you whether or not a claim can be made on a defective property after its purchase, to whom you could consider bringing a claim against, and making a claim for the costs of putting the property right, and much much more!

Private Criminal Prosecutions & The Law - Part 2

Whilst issuing a Claim against someone in the Civil Courts is something that most of us are familiar with, bringing a private criminal prosecution is not a topic that many are aware of.  If you have reported an incident to the Police, and the Police have not taken action to prosecute the party that you have complained about, can you then, as an individual, bring a private criminal prosecution against a person or a company? Interestingly, the law does allow for individuals to bring criminal proceedings, so join Hatti Suvari and the former Chief Crown Prosecutor and Barrister Nick Hawkins, in this informative episode to find out about how this area of our criminal law works. Hatti and Nick discuss the role of the Crown Prosecution Service (also referred to as the CPS), outline what the Private Prosecutions Associations is, and what it does to assist, as well as aspects of the all-important Code of Practice, for those that are considering a Private Prosecution or perhaps defending a Private Prosecution. This informative and jargon free episode gives you an insight in to how to start a Private Prosecution, and the important considerations that should be made, including the costs involved, as always, in plain and simple English.Learn more about your ad choices.

Young Offenders - What You NEED To Know.

Young offenders are children aged between just 10 to 17 years old. Unfortunately, youth crime is on the up, with the number of children in custody in England and Wales expected to double by 2024. Most children and parents do not know the age at which a child can get a criminal record for wrong-doing, and also how long a criminal record remains on someone’s file. There are many unknowns and myths surrounding this topic, such as where a child would service a criminal sentence, and what happens to children when they serve sentences. At Get Legally Speaking, we believe that if children were aware of just some of these simple legal facts, then some would be put off committing crimes, empowered with the facts of the consequences of doing so.  This is a must listen episode for youngsters, and for parents!  As a young person or a parent, it is so important to be well-informed on the laws of our land, especially during important and vulnerable times of our lives from 10 to 18 years old.
