Thank you to @Pougher_Round at the @ResFamilyLaw collaborative forum today for raising awareness of the importance of use of language when working with neurodiverse clients - top tip: don’t assume, listen,mirror language they use (identity first language or person first language)

In the UK, the term “common law partner” is often used to describe cohabiting couples who aren't married or in a civil partnership. However, as Darcy Gee explains, in the eyes of the law, it is a colloquial term only and has no legal rights: ow.ly/jgVz50TiAN3

Family law loves an acronym. ADR, NCDR & mediation…what do they all mean? I hope this post will make it clearer. In short, they are ways to resolve a family issue outside of court. #mediation

In April, changes to family court rules were made to promote #mediation and other forms of dispute resolution outside of court. Our Partner and mediator, @vfriendlaw, explains the impact.

The new changes to the family law rules are a dose of common sense. Essentially, think about how to resolve your dispute without rushing to court and take active steps to reach a conclusion. Finally, be mindful of the language you use. #mediation

Not shouting the word notice, just wanted to emphasise it!

This tweet is an invitation to NOTICE. Notice what language pulls you closer to the person you're talking to and creates collaboration and connection, and what language pushes you apart and creates disconnection and anger or frustration. If you have examples then please share.

Sometimes the difference between collaboration & argument between exs is the language they each choose to use. Consider the difference between using MY children & OUR children. Such simple tweaks don't require big changes but the use of language that creates constructive chats.

This sort of language being used on TV is so unhelpful and can be really damaging for families! As @susiejparsons1 has pointed out - when will screenwriters catch up! ⬇️

Especially when you have people who face multiple disadvantages. We see people who cannot read and write, let alone understand the legal terminology which can be very overwhelming and confusing.

The phrase that’s really winding me up at the minute is “go after”, as in they’re going to go after my pensions 😡

Really unhelpful language being used in this article inc 'the gloves are off' ‘divorce battle’ and a lawyer being referred to as a ‘pitbull’ - language like this fuels conflict and can damage coparenting relationships #LanguageMatters dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/pa…
