A fast-track pilot scheme for financial remedy cases is running from 7 April 2025 to 3 April 2026 in courts in the north of England.

HHJ Tindal. An unusual case, involving two appeals arising from longstanding TLATA claims involving the former family home. Mr Needham’s application to vary the consent order which was made in 2017 was refused. He sought ‘permission to apply’ to set aside that refusal, permission being required because of an LCRO. Permission to apply was refused; Mr Needham appealed. This judgment deals with his application to set aside that refusal.

What happens if the Child Maintenance Service has determined that a non-resident parent is required to pay child maintenance to the parent-with-care, but payments are also being made towards the mortgage secured on the property in which PWC still lives with the qualifying child/children? Does it matter if the property is jointly owned by NRP and PWC? Will those mortgage payments reduce the amount of child maintenance?
