Children Disputes

When a relationship breaks down it is sometimes difficult for couples to agree where their children should live and how much time they should spend with each parent. Whilst this can be a distressing time for parents, the best interests of children must always be of paramount importance. Our experienced family solicitors recognise that mutually agreed arrangements between parents are most effective and it is therefore essential that advice is taken at an early stage. 


Whether it’s regarding parental separation and living arrangements, adoption or childcare, you can rely on our expert divorce lawyers to find solutions that suit the specific needs of your children.


Making child maintenance arrangements can be one of the most important aspects of a divorce or separation.
