A question about : Adding middle name for son

Hello.
My wife and I wish to add a middle name to our sons name.
I was looking at completing a deed poll with the court but it seems quite long winded, having to complete a statutory declaration, complete an affidavit of best interest etc.
I was thinking about using an online service and was wondering if they are any good and fully legal, ie Lawpack, or www.thelegaldeedpollservice.co.uk.

A question about : Help! Paternity pay

Hi,

I am in a funny situation, as I am leaving my current job when my wife goes into labour,but I will technically be employed by them for 2 more weeks while I get my statutory paternity leave

I then plan starting my new job a month later.

However statutory paternity pay is shockingly low, and I will then have another 2 weeks without any income, which is not a helpful way to start raising a baby. My wife hasn't worked for a while so she does not get maternity leave either

A question about : Maxi-Cosi Foam Wedge

Can anyone help? Friends have kindly lent us a Maxi-cosi cabriofix car seat but the back support foam wedge is missing. Does anyone have any ideas on where to get a replacement? Of, if they have, could they measure it so I could have a piece of foam cut? Tried and failed to buy one on eBay thanks to a dodgy seller. Baby is due on Thursday so any help would be great!

A question about : Budgeting Book for teenagers

Do any of you lovely people know of a budgeting workbook suitable for a 14 year old boy please? The ones I've found have either been American, out of print or very expensive.

Thanks

A question about : Divorced for being too money saving!

I'm a gorgeous 42 year old money saving Mum to twins that are just over 2.

My Ex divorced me for being 'too money saving' and put about me bringing home sugar sachets from restaurants in his divorce petition! Well, that made both me and my solicitor laugh!

So to all you Dads out there...is being too money saving a bad thing? I really didn't think it was as it's how I've been brought up with parents that were on rations in the war!

A question about : Help with enforcement order

My ex has ignored a court order that allowed me access to our son. I have spent all my savings on legal fees and cannot afford the solicitors fees for an enforcement order.
I can pay the court fees for the enforcement, I was wondering are there are any templates that I could use for wording the order to proceed by myself.
Has anyone been through this, will I see my son, or can his mother keep ignoring the court, she is fully aware that the penality to ignore the court may be community service.
