Child Arrangements

Our Solicitors as members of The Association of Lawyers for Children are experts in providing advice and conducting negotiations around children’s issues.

Regrettably, the breakdown of a relationship impacts the children the greatest and often such situations are further complicated where parents are unable to agree arrangements regarding care of the children and occasionally with regard to medical or educational decisions.

Our Solicitors are experts in providing legal advice relating to the following issues:

Child Arrangements. This occurs where parents are unable to agree where the children will live and how much time they will spend with each parent;
Financial support. Including child maintenance advice.
Specific issues including which school the children should attend or if they should have a religious education or particular concerns around the children’s heritage.
Where steps need to be taken to prohibit parents from taking actions such as removing the children from the UK.

We assist clients in presenting their case and to assist in negotiating a parenting plan. Occasionally an application to the courts is the only way forward and our Solicitors are robust in their representation to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients, so they have a legally binding order for both parents to comply with.

Our Solicitors have many years’ experience of representing children and have seen every possible decision made by the courts including removing children from parents where there is a serious impact on the children affecting their safety.
