The Kyle Walker and Lauryn Goodman saga continues… You may have seen the recent headlines: ‘Kyle Walker and Annie Kilner are enraged by Lauryn Goodman’ and ‘Annie Kilner shares defiant snap after Lauryn Goodman dragged private lives into the public arena’. It is often assumed that family court proceedings will be kept private, but this is not always the case. There has been a movement towards transparency in the family courts in recent years, and in certain circumstances parties will be identified in the court’s judgment. In the recent case of Goodman v Walker the court refused anonymisation on the basis that the parties were celebrities and so much related to this matter had already been sprawled across the front pages as a result of their own actions; anonymising the judgment would have been futile. Had Walker and Goodman opted to go down the route of reaching a definitive conclusion to matters via Family Arbitration, a form of alternative dispute resolution, the findings and final decision of the court would not have been publicised for the world to see and judge. More information on this can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eTeNCNKV The family team at Sheridans is part of a renowned leading media and technology law firm, which is used to acting for people in the public eye and dealing with issues surrounding transparency and anonymisation in the family courts. We are well-versed in all forms of alternative despite resolution and explore all options with our clients, to keep their private lives private.

What happens when a Child Arrangements Order is breached? This a question often asked by our clients, as it is far more common than people assume and there is confusion about how to navigate this as co-parents. In our latest insight, Marianna Lambrou guides you through the process and sets out the options available. #familyatsheridans #sheridans #childarrangementsorder #enforcement #familylaw

The highly publicised criticism of ‘influencer’, Lauryn Goodman, by His Honor Judge Edward Hess in his judgment following her court battle with England and Manchester City star, Kyle Walker, brings to light the ‘difficult, unreasonable and demanding’ approaches often taken in cases related to providing financial provision for children where the parents are unmarried. This judgment, due to those involved, has sparked conversations about the financial consequences of having children when unmarried, and will no doubt have an influence within the private family law world on the approach taken within cases of this nature in the future. More information on financial provision for children can be found on the Family@Sheridans microsite: https://lnkd.in/dsZdZEdV The Family@Sheridans team are experts in this field, with Partner, Andrea Plum being a Resolution accredited specialist in financial provision for children. #familyatsheridans #familylaw #goodmanvwalker #sheridans
