Help when you want to get your life back on track after the end of a relationship.
It is understandable that following a divorce or separation, one parent may want to return to their own country, or even elsewhere in the UK. The problem comes if they attempt to take their child with them against the wishes of the other parent. When it comes to abduction and leave to remove children, whichever side of the issue you are on, we will deal with your case as sensitively as possible, above all aiming to put the child’s needs first.
The best contact arrangements after a divorce will be regular and consistent, but also flexible. Your circumstances will probably change over time, and so will your children’s needs as they grow up and want to exercise more independence. Our expert family mediation team can help when it comes to changing and challenging parenting agreements.
Because circumstances can change, it is always possible that at some point in the future you may need to change or challenge financial agreements in your divorce. Whether you are paying or receiving maintenance, we can help you negotiate changes to your settlement.
Losing contact with your grandchildren when their parents split up can be heart breaking, but it is all too common. Unfortunately, grandparents have no formal legal rights, although with the court’s permission you can apply for contact. If it comes to this stage, our expert family solicitors can advise you about the legal process and the best way to move forward.
