Children

Where children are involved, issues like residence, contact and maintenance all need to be considered. We have the expertise to help you set in place arrangements that work for you and your children.

It is an inevitable consequence of divorce or separation that any children of the relationship will be affected, if only through the practical changes imposed through their parents’ decision to live apart.

Almost without exception parents are genuinely motivated by what they consider to be in their children’s best interests. However, differences in opinion and differing parenting styles can sometimes lead to disagreements and conflict. It is always important to protect the children from those issues but the high emotions of a relationship breakdown can sometimes mean this does not happen.

We have considerable experience and expertise in dealing with these issues in the careful and sensitive manner. Whilst always encouraging a conciliatory and child focused approach we will not hesitate in taking firm action if that is justified. In some, more extreme cases, this may mean the use of emergency procedures or applications to the Court regarding specific issues.

We can advise on all legal issues regarding children including residence, contact, parental responsibility and maintenance.
