Alcohol testing: these formats test for alcohol consumption over the following time periods. ![]()

Nail testing- up to 12 months
Breathalyser- at the moment of testing

Alcohol can often be a trigger for abusive behaviour and I have several clients whose exes are functioning alcoholics, quite able to hold down a job and appear coherent to professionals but behind closed doors drinking excessive amounts of alcohol- so proving they have a problem with alcohol can be difficult unless you have proper testing. ![]()
I’ve had several clients use these to prove chronic alcohol misuse or binge drinking in family court and also one client who voluntarily wore a tag to put to bed repeated false allegations of alcohol misuse- factual evidence matters.![]()
We know abusers lie and minimise abusive behaviour so if you can get factual evidence that proves conclusively that your ex has or doesn’t have a problem with alcohol then that result can help inform next steps for child arrangements. ![]()

These behaviours are shocking but common practice in Family Law. ![]()
I hear stories about emails purposely timed to coincide with funerals, when the solicitor knows you are looking forward to spending time with your children, documents served at the last minute prior to hearings- all timed for maximum impact, to escalate stress and worry. ![]()
Clients tell me they shake before opening emails from solicitors because they know it’s going to contain abusive and aggressive content- that dealing with the sheer volume of communication from them is a full-time job. Solicitors become the mouthpiece for the abuser.![]()
I’ve never yet had a clients complaint upheld when they have complained to a legal firm or a regulatory body for legal professionals, there is little faith in the complaints process or professional standards.![]()
Obviously there are good and bad in every profession but this behaviour which is purely aimed at misleading, bullying and intimidating the other party (and Court) should not be commonplace for family law. ![]()
You can complain directly to the legal firm, to the Solicitors Regulation Authority, Legal Ombudsman or Resolution Org. ![]()
There should be greater public transparency, independent oversight of complaints and scrutiny of those who are supposed to uphold the law and abide by codes of conduct. ![]()

Sometimes you do have to raise an eyebrow when your ex just won’t give up.. when they keep bleating on about the same issue, trying to discuss the same issue you previously said you wouldn’t discuss, they just say the same thing in different ways, hoping you won’t notice, hoping they will wear you down eventually. ![]()
Don’t they go on…and on…and on. 🥱![]()
Say ‘no’ and they ignore you. Selective hearing. They will only listen when you’re saying what they want to hear. ![]()
*This is why consistency with boundaries is important. If you say ‘no’, mean ‘no’.
*Don’t feel you have to keep responding just because they keep talking.
*It’s ok to use assertive language- be clear, brief, factual – repeat your position twice at most, then ignore. ![]()
They want your attention, they want to exhaust and confuse you. Don’t let them. It’s boring, it’s unnecessary and you have better things to do 💗![]()

Sexual abuse allegations- easy to accuse someone of this, a very powerful statement about your character can be very intimidating and cause huge amounts of fear.![]()
However if you haven’t done anything wrong, it won’t go anywhere. The responsibility on CPS is to prove beyond reasonable doubt that this happened and of course they won’t be able to. ![]()
In the meantime:
* Try not to panic
* If you have evidence of a pattern of previous false allegations, coercive control, domestic abuse- make sure you tell police and show any factual evidence you have
* Show patterns of conflicting behaviour. If your ex is saying you are a safeguarding risk but they have had no problem letting you care for the children, point that out.
* Make sure you comply fully with bail conditions and social services requirements
* Trust the process- we can’t stop your ex telling lies, but with no factual evidence, this allegation ( especially if there are repeated allegations with no factual basis) should raise questions about your ex’s attitude..
* Don’t put yourself in any vulnerable situation with your ex again- you cannot be alone with your ex again. Protect yourself. ![]()
