Going through separation or divorce is often a very emotive time, made even more sensitive when children are involved and child maintenance needs to be addressed. Child maintenance is the financial responsibility that both parents owe to their children, ensuring their wellbeing and upbringing, even after a separation or divorce.

We did it! We conquered Ben Nevis in the sweltering heat on Saturday, all for a great cause. Our team - Morgan Oates, Anne Cameron, Megan Carling, Gemma McDougall, Alan Roughead, Stewart Baillie, Arlene Breen, and Rebecca Caldwell - braved the elements and scaled the UK's tallest peak to raise funds for Tayside Mountain Rescue. And despite the scorching temperatures, there was still snow at the summit! A huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported us in this epic adventure. Your generosity will make a real difference to the incredible work of Tayside Mountain Rescue.
