Issues relating to children are often the most distressing and complicated part of a relationship breakdown. If you are going through a separation, we can help reduce its impact on your children and, wherever possible, guide you and your partner to an amicable resolution. We can also advise and support people indirectly involved in a separation, such as step-parents, grandparents and those with a significant relationship to the child.
Our specialist family lawyers have extensive experience handling child-related issues, and will provide considered support throughout this difficult time. We will work closely with you to fully understand your circumstances and guide you sensitively but pragmatically at every stage of your divorce or separation. To minimise the stress we strive to reach an amicable agreement on any issues that arise, e.g. child residence, parental contact, financial support or schooling.
With expertise in all aspects of child-related matters, our specialists can negotiate considerately but constructively between all parties. To avoid additional costs and prevent further upset, we will aim to keep you and your family out of Court through negotiation, collaboration or round the table meetings. We do, however, have an excellent track record of representing our clients in Court. If this becomes necessary, we will provide you with consistent guidance to protect both your interests and those of your child.
Whichever issues arise during your proceedings, we will carefully consider the law, how it impacts your situation and what approach a Court may take if involved, to ensure that you are fully informed before making your decisions.
