When parents separate, what does the law actually say about what the children want?

In this episode of A Moment With... Simon Fenton is joined by Chris Sutton, Head of Family Law at Fenton Elliott, to talk through how a child's wishes and feelings factor into decisions about where they live and who they spend time with.

Chris covers:

• Why children's wishes sit within the legal welfare checklist, but aren't the whole story
• How age and maturity affect how much weight a child's views carry
• What happens when parents give conflicting accounts of what their children want
• The role of an independent CAFCAS officer in finding out what a child really thinks

A practical, honest look at a question most separating parents ask themselves at some point.

• Why it matters whether you're buying shares or buying the business itself
• What happens to employees' contracts, pay, and pension arrangements when a business changes hands
• The serious financial penalties for failing to consult employees properly
• Why can't you simply "agree" your way out of TUPE
• How to handle redundancies the right way when streamlining a newly acquired team

• • Whether you're buying, selling, or advising on a business acquisition, this episode is essential listening before any deal is signed.
