Glossary Fact Sheet

Quite understandably the use of legal jargon within Court documents can sometimes intimidate.  It is therefore important to us at Laytons that, should our clients come across any terminology the meaning of which they are unsure, that they bring it to our attention immediately for us to explain.  We have, however, prepared a Glossary of Legal Terms used within family proceedings which may be of some assistance.
