Specialists in Contact and Children Issues


Child Maintenance

You and your former spouse/partner are free to agree the amount of maintenance that should be paid for your children. We can assist you with negotiations. If an agreement can be reached we can prepare a Maintenance Agreement for you or help you obtain a consent Court Order. If agreement is not possible then the amount of the child maintenance to be paid will have to be decided by the Child Support Agency.

Children

If you and your former spouse/partner can agree where your children are to live and the amount of time that they are to spend with each parent then there is no need for those arrangements to be approved by the Court. If however there is a dispute we can assist you with negotiations to try and help resolve that dispute. We can also refer you to Family Mediation so that you and your former spouse/partner can discuss matters in a non-confrontational way. If necessary we can help you to make an application to the Court for either a residence Order or Contact Order and can represent you at any Court Hearings.
