Hi gang. Hope everyone is well. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this. My daughter and her fella split up when she was newly pregnant. They had no more contact until after the birth. Had a huge falling out and stopped seeing eachother (including him not seeing the baby). The baby was registered without the fathers name being on the certificate. To cut a long story short, they are now...

Some kind soul has dumped a Tesco shopping trolley in my driveway. I have rescued it and put it in my garden. This raises a number of questions in my mind:- 1.

Is that right? 2. If I have to notify Tesco,...

He has been given a quote of approx £2500 to £3000 by a solicitor to represent him. If he is successful (i.e. stops his ex-wife from leaving with the kids) who normally pays costs, him, her or each pay their own. Cheers,
