Family Law
Family Law is an area of increasing complexity and this work is handled by Tina Magson.
Since qualifying in 2006, Tina has gained experience in a wide range of Family Law matters. This includes, in private practice, matters involving contact disputes, parental rights and responsibilities, residence, separation, divorce, financial provision, cohabitant’s rights, children’s rights, Children’s Hearing work and petitions for adoption. While working in the public sector, Tina assisted extensively in respect of child protection and permanence orders with and without authority to adopt. Tina can assist you with regard to all Family Law issues.
Tina’s aim is to resolve matters in an amicable way thereby causing minimal damage to family relations and at the least cost to you. Often, negotiation or the involvement of mediation services will resolve matters. However, at times, court action may be necessary. Tina has extensive experience in this area and can provide legal advice and support during the court process.
In relation to family and children’s cases, if you are eligible and when it is appropriate to do so, Tina can provide financial assistance via the Scottish Legal Aid Board. By using the eligibility estimator on the Scottish Legal Aid Board’s website, you can establish whether or not you are likely to qualify for Legal Advice and Assistance and/or Civil Legal Aid - www.slab.org.uk/Online_calculators.html.
If you intend applying for legal aid, it is vital that you bring evidence of your income and any capital to your initial meeting with Tina.
