Because their future matters

When a relationship breaks down and children are involved there are lots of difficult 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 to work out practical arrangements such as;

• where and with whom children will live
• when they will see the other parent
• what rights grandparents have

We can also help with advice and support on more unusual situations such as whether a child should;

• be allowed to go and live in another country
• receive medical treatment
• attend a particular school

Reaching an agreement for your children

We’re here to provide constructive and pragmatic advice to help you reach an agreement. And if that isn’t possible, we’ll advise you on alternatives such as attending mediation or court proceedings. And of course, we’ll always provide clear information on the cost of each course of action.

We do not provide work under the Legal Aid Scheme but our team are happy to advise and represent family members in relation to care proceedings in circumstances where Legal Aid is not available – please get in touch to find out more.
