Varying Joint Lives Maintenance Orders - A Legal, Practical & Strategic Guide

Introduction

Although joint lives maintenance orders are now very rarely made, they were much more commonly ordered some 15/20 years ago. As that generation of clients now reach retirement age, family lawyers will likely be asked to advise on variation, capitalisation and dismissal of joint lives maintenance orders.

This webinar will outline some of the key legal, practical and strategic considerations.

This webinar will cover the following:

• The orders available to the court when dealing with a joint lives maintenance order
• The statutory factors and case law the court should apply
