Enforcing child contact arrangements
Following the breakdown of a relationship, most parents can reach an agreement amicably regarding the arrangements for children. Unfortunately, as any family lawyer will tell you, that does not always happen.
Ensuring that your children are well looked after is one of the main priorities in any parent's life.
However, it is an unfortunate fact that when family relationships break down, children will be caught up in the situation. What happens to them can become an issue between the parents
If there are children involved, the main priority is to agree where they will live and how their time is to be shared between you and your former partner. We understand that it can be difficult to reach agreement and we deal with this sensitively, avoiding the further upset and acrimony and making sure that the children’s welfare remains the priority at all times.
We recognise that disputes involving children can be particularly emotive and we have significant expertise to guide you through reaching agreements outside of court proceedings but also the expertise and knowledge to assist you if court proceedings become necessary.
We aim to take a practical yet tactful approach to legal issues involving children, always aiming to put the child’s welfare at the centre of any work which we do.
When court proceedings become the only option, we have the experience needed to ensure that you are fully supported throughout the process and that the welfare of your children remains paramount. Further, our specialist lawyers’ knowledge and expertise extends to more complex issues arising where there are allegations of domestic abuse or where a parent seeks to remove a child permanently inside and outside of the UK.”
