Child custody lawyers: Expert legal advice

Our child law solicitors can help make the divorce easier on you and your children. We’re here to make sure that your child’s best interests are represented throughout the process.

If you’re getting divorced, you and your partner need to agree who your children will live with. The legal language can sometime be confusing but ‘custody’, ‘residence’ and ‘living with’ all have the same meaning. 

In addition to who the child will live with, common child law issues a solicitor can help you work through include:

  • parental responsibility after divorce
  • who pays child maintenance?
  • enforcing child maintenance payments
  • where the children should go to school
  • divorce parenting plan
  • access to the children after the divorce

The family team is very experienced, client focused and able to offer specialist advice in all areas of family law. It approaches cases pragmatically and considers all aspects of non court dispute resolution as a method to assist its clients to find resolution to issues relating to finance and child arrangements.

Our family law experts can help you agree:

  • where your children will live
  • how much time they will spend with each parent
  • financial support and child maintenance
  • grandparents’ visitation rights.

I have been told my property has development potential. What do I do?

If you’ve been contacted by a developer or a land promoter regarding a potential development to your property, you may wish to consider granting an option agreement or a promotion agreement. An option agreement is made between the landowner and the developer, where it is intended that the developer will apply for planning permission and requires an option to buy the property. A land promotion agreement is used where a developer agrees to apply for planning permission and will market the property for sale on the open market once planning permission has been obtained. This is usually in return for a proportion of the net sale proceeds. The law on this is very complex and you will need specialist advice.
