Child Support, Custody, Access  and Other Rights in Respect of Children

We are specialists in all issues relating to children.

We have solicitors who are members of the Law Society’s Children Panel dealing specifically with children issues on a day to day basis.

Your children are very important and in the unfortunate situation where your marriage or relationship breaks up, you want the best for your children. We will do all that we can to help you achieve this.

Working with you we will attempt to help you reach an agreement with the other parent. Should this not be possible we will apply to the court to make what is called a residence order. This order will set out certain directions about the children including a level of child maintenance.

As a parent you will wish to maintain a relationship with your children. Should your children not be living with you we will try to assist in ensuring that the relationship continues.

Contact with your children may be difficult at this time. We are able to negotiate on your behalf to arrange contact, but if this cannot be done on a voluntary basis, we can apply to the court for a contact order.

If you are not married to the other parent of a child and still want to be involved in decisions about the child’s education, welfare and health, we can apply to the court to help you obtain a parental responsibility order.

Circumstances may arise where you are concerned that your children may be taken to live in another part or England or possibly taken abroad. Once again we can apply to the court and apply for a prohibited steps order.

Where a child has been abducted, we can help in trying to obtain their return.

All of the above circumstances can be stressful for you as a parent. We aim to help you at this difficult time using the expertise of our specialised staff.

We can also assist you in the legal process of adoption.
