Child Issues

When a relationship has broken down and there are children involved, then this can add to the emotional, practical and legal difficulties involved.  As a result, there can be a number of matters which may be concerning you, such as the children’s living arrangements or the payment of child maintenance. We can advise you of the possible options and steps required to achieve a mutually agreeable solution and, after that, we can then  try and help you come to a written agreement with your partner on these issues.  More information on resolving disputes can be found in Dispute Resolution which explains different methods of resolution of issues in relation to, amongst other things, children.

You may not be going through a relationship breakdown but there may be other issues regarding children which are concerning you - what are your rights if you are not married or how do you go about changing a child’s name?  There may also be practical educational issues such as placing requests for school.  You may find out that your child is being bullied.  You might wish to adopt a child.  We can help with all of these difficult and sensitive issues.  Simply complete our General Information request form.
