Our Family lawyers are experienced in helping parents make arrangements for children following the breakdown of a relationship. We will make sure that everyone involved understands their legal rights and responsibilities whilst ensuring that the views of you and your children are considered.
The first stage is to talk to you and get to know about your situation where we will explain the process and take care of any referrals or initial correspondence that is necessary. This is also your opportunity to explain all of the details that are specific and important to your children and to your own, personal circumstances.
In most cases mediation is required when parents and families are unable to reach an agreement by themselves. We will assist parties to reach an amicable agreement. When this is not possible an application for Child Arrangements may be necessary to determine or agree with whom the children should live with, and how much time they should spend with parents and families.
Our aim is to achieve a tailored and balanced result for you and your family with the least complication and expense possible. Our family law solicitors are experienced in helping parents and families make arrangements for children following the breakdown of a relationship. We’ll make sure that everyone involved understands their legal rights and responsibilities whilst ensuring that the views of you and your children are heard.
Of course, children have practical needs as well as emotional ones and it can sometimes be difficult to focus on the best practical solutions when a relationship has broken down. But our family solicitors will bring clarity to your situation. We’ll clearly explain what arrangements for children need to be considered and help you put things in place to create a more stable and happy future for you and your children.
We’ll explain everything in a way that’s clear and easy to understand. We also offer free, initial, over-the-phone advice and will explain the costs and timescales involved up front so you always know what to expect.
