Children

Dealing with children and issues relating to their welfare is an important part of the divorce process, our experienced team can help you achieve what is right for them and for you.

Children and Divorce

Invariably when a relationship breaks down, issues arise regarding where the children will live, which parent they will live with and how much time they will spend with the other parent. These issues need to be carefully and delicately handled and our lawyers are very experienced in dealing with and understanding what can be a very stressful area to resolve.

We can help you resolve issues surrounding:

Child maintenance
Residence orders (custody)
Contact (access)
Prohibited steps orders
Parental responsibility
Taking your children abroad

We have family lawyers trained to deal with issues relating to children including residence and contact disputes and child abduction whether in the UK or international.

With the open European market and flow of people across international borders to live and work, international cross border disputes over children are much more common place. These will often involve multinational jurisdictions and we have a specialised team in place to deal with such situations.

To talk in confidence to one of our family lawyers please contact us directly. Our team can arrange meetings at locations and times to suit our clients.
