Children Arrangements

Children are often greatly affected by marriage and relationship breakdown. It is a time of substantial change and emotional upset for children and separating or divorcing parents will often have differing views about what is best for the children and their future welfare.

It is crucial that in such circumstances you have experienced and realistic legal representation to ensure that the best interests of the children are always put first. Our understanding team will work with you in achieving the best arrangements for your children, dealing with any safety issues, their financial welfare and support arrangements.

Our services

We will try to help you reach an amicable arrangement with the other parent but if this is not possible, using negotiation or mediation, we can help take you through an application asking the Court to decide on the best arrangements for the children when the Court will take into account each child’s needs and feelings dependant upon age, emotional and physical wellbeing and all other relevant factors in deciding whether an order is necessary and, if so deciding on the details of that Order.

Why choose us?

Our team can help explain the myths surrounding child support and how involvement by the Child Support Agency and Child Maintenance Service can be avoided by agreement.

Most family disputes can be resolved without using the Courts and we can help you to make suitable arrangements whilst ensuring that the children come first.
