Arrangements for Children
When a relationship breaks down and children are involved, your main concern will be to protect their wellbeing. So, it is good to know that at Blossom Law Solicitors we make your children our number one priority too.
Issues regarding arrangements for children can sometimes arise a while after the breakdown of a relationship. It’s very important to seek legal advice as early as possible in any potential child dispute. Throughout all the practical considerations that are required during a separation or divorce, we never lose sight of the fact that the wellbeing of any children comes first.
Our family law solicitors are experienced in helping parents and families make arrangements for children following the breakdown of a relationship. We’ll make sure that everyone involved understands their legal rights and responsibilities whilst ensuring that the views of you and your children are heard.
Our family solicitors will help to bring clarity to your situation. We will clearly explain what arrangements for children need to be considered and help you put things in place to create a more stable and happy future for you and your children.
Shared Care and Joint Custody Arrangements
Blossom Law Solicitors are able to provide advice or assistance in cases where a party is seeking shared care arrangements for their child/children, sometimes referred to as joint custody or joint residence. We try to resolve issues without the involvement of the Court where possible so that parties can agree any arrangements for contact (access) and residence (custody) as amicably as possible. In situations where it may not be possible, we are able to advise and assist with Court proceedings in order to resolve any issues to child arrangements.
Reduced Contact and Access
In some circumstances it may be necessary to reduce or suspend contact or access. Sometimes the involvement of secure environments such as contact centres may be necessary. Similarly, it may also be appropriate to increase the current arrangements for contact or access. Our specialist family lawyers can recognise and advise when such actions are appropriate to assist you in your decision.
This also includes important decisions such as removing a child from the country permanently, otherwise referred to as removal from jurisdiction. We provide you with the advice to enable you to make the decisions you deem to be in your child’s best interests at every stage.
Father’s Rights for Custody
Our team of family lawyers can advise or assist fathers on any issues relating to child arrangements, such as access disputes or residence disputes. We are also able to advise on issues surrounding parental responsibility.
