Children
One of the most distressing aspects of divorce is the effect it has on your children, and we appreciate this is going to be your main cause of concern.
At Ramsdens, we have extensive expertise in handling cases surrounding children and in representing parents, grandparents and other family members in difficult custody disputes.Sensitivity and discretion is required when handling the interests of children and we will provide you with emotional support and expert legal advice to help you establish financial, living and contact arrangements, ideally outside of the Court.
In rare circumstances urgent court action may be required and in these instances we will act with speed and decorum to ensure the best solution is reached. We can help you negotiate with your child's other parent or apply for one of the following orders from the court:
- Joint Residence Order - where both parents share parental responsibilities.
- Residence Order - one parent has physical custody of the child or children.
- Contact Order - describes the circumstances under which the non-resident parent can have access to the children.
- Prohibited Steps Order - a list of specific actions that are not allowed.
- Specific Issue Order - terms related to a specific issue such as schooling, religious upbringing and medical intervention.
Our specialist solicitors are accredited members of the Law Society Children Panel, so you can be assured that your children’s best interests are at the heart of our work.
