Matters concerning children
When a couple decides to divorce or separate, one of the most pressing concerns for parents is how their children will be affected. We understand the importance of your child’s welfare and will work hard to ensure that their best interests are at heart when decisions are made.
If parents can agree on arrangements for their children outside of court then this relieves much stress for everyone involved. This is not, however, always the easiest thing to do, which is why our lawyers have trained as mediators to specifically help in such situations. Where matters cannot be agreed, then we are also able to assist with any court applications that may be required, whether to protect the children or enable decisions concerning their place of residence or contact with them.
We are committed to providing our clients with a service that is highly personalised and tailored to your individual needs. We aim to provide you with pragmatic, affordable advice and assistance on a wide range of issues, including:
- Financial considerations, including issues surrounding maintenance, capital payments and housing needs
- Disputes over residency and contact
- Paternity issues
- Parental responsibility, especially concerning single fathers
- Name changes, schooling and any other concerns you may have about your child’s future.
We are friendly and approachable and will always work to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your children.
