Our child arrangements solicitors have a wealth of practical and legal experience in this area and can help you with a range of issues, including:
- Living Arrangements – where your children will live (also known as residence)
- Access to your Children – who they can see and when (this is known as contact)
- Financial maintenance – such as child maintenance, school fees and housing costs
- Relocation – whether a parent can relocate a child (both in the UK and overseas)
- Grandparents’ rights – getting legal access to your grandchildren
- Parental Responsibility – Who is responsible for what
- Specific issues – such as changing a child’s surname or school
Young’s will always try to help you settle your dispute through mediation or negotiation if that is appropriate. We do this to help save you time and to also reduce the stress on you. Creating a good working relationship with you and your ex partner will help all parties in the future. However, we know that this is not always possible to medicate or even negotiate and we have decades of experience behind us to help you through this process if required.
If your case does need to go to court, our lawyers can help with various types of court order:
- Child arrangements order – this sets out where your child will live and spend time (what people commonly refer to as custody and access or contact and residence)
- Prohibited steps order – this can prevent your ex-partner doing something, such as changing your child’s surname or moving abroad
- Specific issue order – this can decide a particular issue, such as where a child is to be educated
In these situations we have the knowledge and experience to help you through the court process and to get the best outcome for you and your children. We understand that you may be anxious about how a court battle will affect your children, and we’ll do everything we can to support you and your children through the issues that arise.
