Our compassionate team of child law experts are here to guide you through the issues and legal processes involved around children when parents separate so that your family can move forwards.
Legal matters for children when parents separate
When a relationship breaks down and children are involved there can be lots of difficult questions and details to work through. Every family is different and what works for one may not work for another, we work with you to reach the right outcomes for your family. We’ll help you work out practical arrangements such as;
- Which parent children should live with
- When children will see each parent
- What rights grandparents have
Our support doesn’t stop there, we can also help with more specific and unique situations such as whether a child should;
- be allowed to live in a different country
- receive medical treatment
- attend a particular school
We provide constructive and pragmatic advice to help you reach an agreement. If this isn’t possible, we can advise you on alternatives such as mediation or court proceedings. At every step of the way, we’ll provide clear information on each course of action.
