Whether you separate when married or not if there are children involved in a relationship it makes a separation even more difficult. Our family solicitors offer a sensitive approach where there are disputes over children and are experienced in dealing with a wide range of issues. We find that talking issues through with a friendly and experienced family solicitor can often help to light the way forward. It will take a child time to get used to their new family situation but with our help you can resolves issues in the most positive and least disruptive manner.

 Parents can disagree over many things and we can help to deal with issues over:

•  Where a child should live
• Who has contact with a child
• Who has parental responsibility for a child
• Schooling, moving abroad and protecting a child from harm
• Father’s rights
• Surname disputes
• Financial arrangements
• Breach of Court Orders

When resolving disputes we prefer to use methods of mediation.  This is a process where a trained intermediary helps both parents to exchange their views and thoughts. The end outcome being to arrive at an agreed solution whereby both parents are happy without the need to go to Court. It is an inexpensive way to come to a solution and is very useful when resolving disputes about children.

If Court proceedings are necessary we will act firmly and promptly to ensure the dispute is resolved. We will explain the court process to you to ensure that you fully understand what is happening and the effects the judge's decision will have.

Our family team understands how difficult it can be to deal with issues concerning the welfare of your children and that you want what is best for them. We offer a service that is focused on providing the best possible solutions for your child and finding an arrangement that suits you.
