Separating from your partner, what next? The end of a relationship is never easy, but it is important that people are aware of the procedure. If you are considering ending your relationship, whether it be amicable or not, here are five questions often asked. 1) What are the first steps I should take when separation becomes inevitable? There is no need to rush into a decision that will affect not only you but the rest of your family (particularly where children are involved). However, it is worthwhile getting legal advice, even if you have not yet made that final decision to part. Many couples are able to resolve their financial issues without a solicitor, but obtaining advice early on means that you are able to make good decisions about how to proceed. Many solicitors, including Gullands, offer initial appointments for a fixed fee, which do not obligate you to proceed any further with that solicitor, but allow you to get some idea of what the next steps are. 2) How do I choose the right solicitor? Separating can be extremely difficult, so it is imperative that you choose a specialist solicitor who is best suited to your individual situation. For instance, if children are involved then you should choose a specialist family practitioner, accustomed to family courts. If your case includes other issues such as a business or trust, it is best to ensure that your solicitor has expertise in these areas. Whilst a solicitor’s experience is important, it is also important to use one that you are comfortable with.
4) How can I protect my financial interests prior to separation? Try to get together as much financial information as you can. There are strict boundaries that prevent people from using any illegitimately gained paperwork as evidence in divorce cases, so your partner’s texts and emails will not provide sufficient paperwork. Instead, be aware of what your spouse’s assets might be, what your own assets are, and what you share, find out what the house is worth and what you owe on the mortgage. Don’t panic about what you don’t know as many people have no idea what their partner earns. Just be vigilant for example money being moved from joint accounts should ring alarm bells! If you are married, the process calls for full financial disclosure so you would expect to receive this information as matters progress. If you can bear it, stay in jointly owned property if you can, this can help alleviate the financial burden on separation but if you are not safe, or it is too distressing, consider moving out or asking your partner to leave. Simply leaving joint property does not mean that you lose your entitlement to it but staying might mean you can sort things out faster. 5) What mistakes should I avoid during a divorce? A common error many couples make is focusing on who caused the relationship to end. This should be avoided, it might be necessary for one party to be considered to be the one to blame as part of divorce proceedings, but the focus should be on how to move forward and not on the past. Where there are children, they should be the priority. It is accepted that both parents should have contact with their children, and keeping the children’s best interests at the heart of all decisions should help the parties make better decisions, and stay as amicable as possible in all aspects of the end of the relationship.
3) What legal rights do I have? If you are married, generally the starting point is that the assets will be divided equally between the parties but there are many other factors to be taken into account, most particularly the needs of the parties and any dependent children. If you are unmarried, the protection is not so great, and the parties may only be able to resolve their respective interests in joint property. An initial appointment with a solicitor will help clarify this for you.

Rat proximity, how close are rats to us? The urban myth and well known phrase that we’re never more than six feet away from a rat, true or false? For a long time it was estimated that there was one rat for every person in the UK. Is this fact or fiction?
bombing the BBQ and searching out a nice cold Magners to quench their thirst. Worse still if they happen to take a serious dislike to you and actually sting you, just the ticket to spoil a summer garden party. We can come along and move them on, whoever has overstepped the mark, Pest Purge have the technology, the wit and charm to remove them safely without a fuss, keeping your event pest free. It must work; no pest that we have ever expelled has complained! We are tolerant of small disturbances but will intervene when insects get out of hand. If you have a Pest call Pest Purge (small kids excluded)!
Rats, like people, also like to have a place in the country, a rural retreat. Somewhere to head off to for some peace and quiet. Rats have set up home in farms and around agricultural buildings. There are c200,000 of these rural-retreat rat homes around the UK. 40% of these will have rats present, previous surveys have accurately estimated this to equate to 90 rats per farm, totalling 7 million rural rats. Therefore the total estimate for the UK is 10.5 million rats. Our present population give or take a few is 60 million, so we outnumber rats six to one, nowhere near the one to one often cited.

The maths for distance calculation is more rough and ready. First discount the rural rats because the phrase is really only used by city and town folk. Urban areas in the UK cover 16,000 square kilometres. If we distribute the 3.1 million urban rats evenly, each rat has a spacious 5000 square metres to scurry about in. So if you stand in an urban area you would be at most 164 feet away or (50 metres) from your nearest rat....not six feet!

Dr Dave Cowan a wildlife leader at the Food and Environment Research Agency has estimated the following statistics. Rats are commensal (associated with human activities). He says that it is rare for rats to actually be inside our dwellings. Less than half a percent at best only a few rats. Around 3% of properties have rats present outside, so roughly 1.5 million rats in and around our homes. Rats also like living in easily accessible commercial properties, factories and shops. A survey suggests 5% of these have rats, c200,000 in 1.8 million premises. Sewers are another favourite rat haunt. It is estimated that in the 16,000 square kilometres of pipework we have 5% occupied by rats. A count of 2000 rats per square kilometre of sewer means that there are about 1.6 million living there and 3.3 million rats in urban environments. So a total estimate of streetwise urban rats numbering 3-3.5 million.

Planning Your Happy Retirement Event If you are retired or looking to finish work in the next few years, an inspirational event full of good planning advice and ideas to make your time fulfilling is being organised by Furley Page Solicitors this autumn. Experts will be talking on many topics including how to ‘MOT’ your Will; funding an enjoyable retirement; securing peace of mind if nursing care becomes an issue; and top tips for parents who want to help their children get on the property ladder. There will also be an open forum to exchange ideas on how you can spend your time, what sort of activities you might like to try, and tips if you are considering paid or voluntary work after retirement. The Planning Your Happy Retirement event, which is open to everyone, takes place from 10am to 4pm on Monday October 3 at The Marlowe Theatre, The Friars, Canterbury. The cost is £24.50, which includes refreshments and a light lunch. The Marlowe Friends and Corporate Members can claim a £5 discount. Attendees who instruct Furley Page or Tarvos Wealth for advice within three months of the event will have their ticket price deducted from fees charged. Book through The Marlowe Theatre box office on 01227 787787 or online at www. marlowetheatre.com (booking fees apply).

If you want paradise. . . visit the Seychelles
Imagine paradise and you will imagine the Seychelles. Tantalising white sand beaches are dappled with the silhouettes of swaying palms, the sapphire Indian Ocean laps gently at the shore, and amid banyan trees and fairy terns you lay swaying in your hammock, wondering where else in the world there could possibly be a place as idyllic as this. Just a few degrees south of the equator, the 115 granite islands of the Seychelles are a luxurious sanctuary where hopeless romantics come to idle away a couple of weeks in bliss. Each of the islands are unique and exhibit an individual charm, personality and atmosphere of their own. Islandhopping is the best way to explore. Air Seychelles and ZIL AIR provide good, reliable inter-island connections to ensure that getting around is easy. It is hardly surprising that visitors return to the Seychelles year after year to indulge in the laid-back gentle lifestyle of these breathtakingly beautiful islands. The two main islands are Mahé and Praslin. Enveloped in steamy jungle heat, lined with sugar white sands and with mystical granite peaks rising from the ocean, magical Mahé is the largest of the islands. Come here to picnic at picturesque coves and swim in azure lagoons. Anse à la Mouche and Turtle Bay boast fine white sands and crystal clear waters, while Beau Vallon Bay delivers the most outstanding, fiery red sunsets. A short hop from Mahé by plane or an hour by boat, you’ll fall upon some of the whitest beaches in the world on the exotic island of Praslin. Framed by granite boulders and takamaka trees, the talcum powder sands of Anse Lazio are some of the most stunning on the island, and cobalt waters invite you to swim and snorkel all day, before rewarding yourself with a refreshing bottle of SeyBrew lager.
Praslin is one of only two islands in the world where the rare Coco de Mer grows, deep in the Vallée de Mai’s prehistoric forests, and a guided walk into the jungle is definitely worth the effort. Take a day trip to La Digue for a more authentic Seychellois experience, in which locals travel by bicycle or ox-cart and fishermen stroll past traditional Creole houses with their catch of the day. For nature, head north west of Mahé to Silhouette Island, where a melting pot of endangered birds and animals find solace in the magnificent Marine National Park.

Countdown begins to the Kent Life Firework Spectacular Marvel at the daring fire breathers and join the countdown to the annual Bonfire and Firework Spectacular at Kent Life Heritage Farm Park on November 5. The award-winning attraction, near Maidstone, will be open from 3pm so there’s plenty of time to explore all it has to offer in the run-up to the evening’s celebrations, which mark the start of Kent Life’s winter festivities. There will be entertainment for all ages, including face painting, children’s fairground rides, glow sticks galore, a licensed bar and music provided by Hospital Radio Maidstone. Everyone can take a tour of the Vintage Village and younger visitors can enjoy the indoor and outdoor play areas and even meet some farmyard friends in Cuddle Corner. Fire breathers will light the bonfire before the evening culminates in a breathtaking firework display at 8pm. The attraction is open until 9pm, leaving plenty of time for a drink at the bar or a luxurious hot chocolate (or two) at
Dotty’s Tea Room after the entertainment finishes. Early online discounts: Book online at www.kentlife.org. uk before September 30 to save 20%: Adult £8.80, Child (3-15 years) £7.20, Concession £8 (Kent Life members save 50% when booking online before September 30, and 20% after September 30). Due to the popularity of this event, Kent Life cannot guarantee parking for all guests (early arrival is recommended) or that there will be tickets available to purchase on the gate (online booking in advance is therefore advised to avoid disappointment). For further information, call 01622 763936 or visit the website. You can also follow Kent Life on Facebook – / KentLifeFamilyFun and on Twitter @Kent¬_Life.
