I am under huge pressure at work because of staff cutbacks. I don’t know how much longer I can go on. I work late every day without extra pay, and I go home exhausted. My partner says I shouldn’t do it, but I’m worried I’ll lose my job. I tried talking to my boss, but he just said these are hard times for everyone and we must all pull together if the firm is to survive. If he made me redundant, I would at least have some money to fall back on while I’m looking for another job, but if I leave, I’ll have nothing. What can I do?

My partner flatly refuses to make a Will simply because he doesn’t like talking about death! He says we own our home together so if he dies it will automatically pass to me, and I have plenty of my own money to live off, and his children will automatically inherit everything else he has. Is it really as simple as this?

My dad was injured in an accident at work in early 2022 but didn’t make a claim against his employer at the time. Is it now too late to make a claim? If he made a claim against his employer, would he be able to go private?

My partner has been violent and abusive towards me for much of the time we have been together. Can I get an injunction against him?

My husband has stopped paying the bills and I think he has started hiding his money before the online divorce comes through. Will the online Judge sort this out for me?

My daughter bought a second-hand car from a garage in July this year. She paid £8,500 for it, which included the trade-in of her old car. Since getting it, she has had to take it back twice because the front footwells keep filling with water after a heavy downpour of rain. Both times the garage said they could find nothing wrong, and it must be because she doesn’t clear the leaves out of the windscreen gutter. Now it has happened again, and they say they can do nothing more. Can she return the car and demand a refund?

My wife and I moved our business online when lockdown came and have been so successful that we have already expanded once. Now we have plans to diversify and bring our children into the business. At some stage we may consider outside shareholdings as a way of attracting investment to expand even further. If we do this, would setting up a family trust protect our family interests?

A field behind my house has become a construction site for thirty new homes. The land naturally slopes down towards my garden. Following recent torrential rain, a large pool formed on the other side of my fence and seeped underneath it. This part of the site is to remain an ‘open area’. I contacted the developer who said they had ‘dug a temporary ditch’ on their land for the water to soak away and ultimately a ‘pond’ would be constructed that would act as a soak-away. I believe the bottom of my fence will go rotten because of it and my garden could be ruined. Also, who takes responsibility when the development is finished? What can I do?

We have just had plans drawn up for a large extension on the back of our house that we are hoping to start next Spring. We have a builder lined up, but we don’t really know anything about him so we wondering whether we should get a solicitor to look over the contract before we sign anything?
