Children – family law

Your challenges

The biggest concern for most families is their children. The wellbeing of your child depends on both you and your former partner being able to rely on each other and work together however possible as parents in the future.

How we can support you

We provide sensitive and appropriate advice and representation on issues relating to children. These include:

  • Residence orders (formerly called custody) stating where your child lives
  • Contact orders (formerly called access) stating the amount of time your child spends with each parent
  • Getting financial support for your children
  • Stopping a parent doing something without consent, for example, taking your child out of the country
  • Resolving a specific question about the upbringing of your child, such as which school your child should attend
  • Your potential relocation with your child to another country
