Q1. I have leasehold on retail premises and first floor flat, but the period of the lease is only 3 years. I want to make substantial improvements but need to know how to extend the lease period before I start work. How do I go about it?
A1. [Answer provides advice on seeking the head leaseholder, then getting advice on the extension, planning and proposed construction]
Q2. My ex-wife and I have a flexible arrangement with regard to spending time with our children. Although they live with her and I have defined contact each weekend, I see them at other times too, by mutual agreement. This has worked for years but my ex-wife is marrying again soon and says that we will have to revert to the defined times. This will be a real blow – can I do anything to stop her?
A2. [Answer gives general advice on the nature of Residence/Contact orders, but also expands on the prospect of making applications to the court to vary – something that should be done with legal advice.]
