CHILDREN

If your marriage or cohabitation has broken up, we will work with you at achieving the best arrangements for your children, including their financial support.

As far as possible, we enable you to reach agreement with the other parent. However, where agreement cannot be reached we will apply to the court to make, for example, a Residence Order and for the level of child maintenance to be set.

  • If your children are not living with you, we will try to ensure that your children can maintain their relationship with you as a parent.
  • If you are having difficulty seeing your children, we can negotiate for you and, where necessary, apply to the court for a Contact Order.
  • If you were not married to the other parent of a child, we can help you obtain a Parental Responsibility Order giving you an involvement in the child’s education, health and welfare.
  • If you fear your children may be taken from you to live elsewhere in England or abroad, we can apply to the court for a Prohibited Steps Order.
  • If your children have been abducted, we can assist in obtaining their return.
