Children 

Divorce or separation does not end your role as a parent. Parents are forever.

Of course if you are going through a divorce or separation, you will be worried about the impact on your children and what will happen to your relationship with them. Our family law team can offer expert advice on residence and contact (previously known as custody and access), as well as a range of other important issues.

Our national family law presence gives us the strength in depth to help clients from across the country and you get the peace of mind of dealing with one of the UK’s most experienced teams.

Emotional Support

Going through a divorce or separation can be very distressing when children are involved. Contact us and we will not only offer you legal advice, but we will also help you and your children to access emotional support.

You may be worried about the impact that a court battle will have on your children. We believe that divorce does not have to be confrontational. Many of our family lawyers are members of Resolution and are committed to reaching an amicable solution.

You and your partner will be encouraged to put the best interests of your children first. We often help couples to come to an agreement without having to go through the courts.

Many of our lawyers are members of the Law Society Children Panel with specialist expertise in representing children in the family courts.

We have experience in special guardianship orders, adoption and issues that grandparents can face.

Mediation

Using a mediator can also help you avoid going through the courts. A mediator will work with both parties to understand their finances and how they hope to resolve the dispute.

We have a trained mediator and/or collaborative lawyer in each of our regional offices. We will work for the benefit of the whole family and work to find a fair solution for all parties involved.
