Loughborough

Loughborough is perhaps best known for its University (LE11 3TU). It has been a university since 1966, but the institution dates back to 1909, when the then Loughborough Technical Institute began with a focus on skills and knowledge which would be directly applicable in the wider world. In March 2013, the university announced it had acquired the former broadcast centre at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park which opened as a second campus in 2015.

Divorce and getting legal advice

The town is set in the Charnwood Borough of Leicestershire and is the second largest settlement in the country. It is pretty central with Leicester, Nottingham, Derby and East Midlands Airport (based at Castle Donington, Derby DE74 2SA) all on it’s doorstep. The River Soar passes by to the east of town.

There are also five museums in the town and the largest is The Charnwood Museum.

Five things you should consider before agreeing a financial settlement

Separation and divorce

Aside from pending divorce proceedings and everything which comes with that; lawyers, the family court, where are the kids going to live? What about the separation itself? There are a whole host of emotions around separating from a partner. You may have been with your partner for just a couple of years or twenty. The feelings will be much the same. 

A sense of relief can be the first feeling when it is accepted that a couple are well and truly done. It could be that one party has been abusive so the victim is relieved that the other person is moving on or maybe a spouse has had an extramarital affair and has been seeking forgiveness that their partner cannot bring themselves to give. Whatever the reasons for the break-up, there is often the momentary and pleasurable feeling of closure.

However, anyone who has been through a separation and divorce knows that this relief doesn’t last for long as there is always so much to sort out, especially if you have children, a home, pets etc.…  Couples soon realise that they are not just breaking up from each other. Their lives have been entangled in many ways and it is more of an “uncoupling” task which takes hold. 

There are in-laws. It may be that everyone used to get along brilliantly but with the divorce things have become very tricky. A brother-in-law may have been like a best friend but now he feels that blood is thicker than water and he should support his sister. Parents more often than not will take the side of their adult child as they feel it is their duty to support their own. Shock waves run through to the very core of what used to be, as progress in the untying of the knot starts to happen. Read the rest of this article
