Download or read book A Practical Guide to Divorce and Farming in Scotland written by Lucia Clark and published by . This book was released on 2022-01-31 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the particular legal and practical problems arising from farming divorce in Scotland. Topics covered include the tricky issues of whether the farm business and the farmland fall within the definition of "matrimonial property" or not; the nuances of partnership law and consideration of Scottish case law on farming partnerships; and the particular way in which arguments for unequal sharing often arise in farming cases, whether due to source of funds, economic disadvantage or lack of resources. Intended as a practical guide, there are suggestions for information gathering at the first meeting; instruction of specialist valuers; and a summary of unique assets to farm businesses. The book also considers the impact of inter-generational dynamics on farming divorce, and when preventative measures such as pre-nuptial or partnership agreements might be useful. The book is aimed primarily towards Scottish family law practitioners, but is also likely to be of interest to farming advisers and farm accountants, who either find themselves with divorcing clients or who wish to avoid pitfalls for their clients on a future separation.

Download or read book Albion s Seed written by David Hackett Fischer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-03-14 with total page 981 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.

Download or read book Mediation in Family Disputes written by Marian Roberts and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the authoritative textbook on family mediation. As well as mediators, this work will be indispensable for practitioners and scholars across a wide range of fields, including social work and law. It draws on a wide cross-disciplinary theoretical literature and on the author's extensive and continuing practice experience. It encompasses developments in policy, research and practice in the UK and beyond. Roberts presents mediation as an aid to joint decision-making in the context of a range of family disputes, notably those involving children. Mediation is seen as a process of intervention distinct from legal, social work and therapeutic practice, drawing on a distinctive body of knowledge across disciplinary fields including anthropology, psychology and negotiation theory. Incorporating empirical evidence, the book emphasizes the value of mediation in mitigating the harmful effects of family breakdown and conflict. First published in 1988 as a pioneering work, this third edition has been fully updated to incorporate legal and policy developments in the UK and in Europe, new sociological and philosophical perspectives on respect, justice and conflict, and international research and practice innovations.
