"A Schedule 1 order sets up a structure for a family’s home, often for many years. If care is not taken over the arrangements, the consequences can be very significant: from ongoing disputes, to unexpected tax consequences, to the practicality of who pays for a new boiler when it breaks in the middle of winter."

Writing for the Financial Remedies Journal, partners Jemma Pollock, Rebecca Fisher and Pieter Boodt discuss the provisions contained in the Children Act 1989 Schedule 1. Schedule 1 focuses on financial provision for children during a separation, particularly when property disputes occur.
