We're proactive

We don’t just look after you, we look out for you.  That means we bring you insights, advice and keep you up to date on all kinds of legal matters so you can keep ahead.

We’re expert-led

We match a member of the team with the right expertise to every client, who will invest time getting to know you, who will look after your interests and ensure you have access to the whole firm when you need it.

We talk your language

The legal and financial matters might be complex, but we aim to keep things straightforward and explain everything in terms that are relevant to you.

Overview

Custody arrangements in your children’s best interests

Helping you make difficult decisions

Separating or divorcing often means making challenging decisions about where your children will live and how they will spend time with each parent. These conversations can feel overwhelming, particularly when emotions are high. We help you understand your options and work towards arrangements that feel workable and fair for your family.

Keeping children’s welfare at the centre

In every case involving children, their welfare comes first. Our child law solicitors take time to listen to your concerns and understand your family’s circumstances. We focus on reducing conflict and helping parents reach agreements that support stability, reassurance and routine for their children.

Clear advice, without legal jargon

Language around child arrangements can be confusing. We explain things clearly, including what people often refer to as custody, residence or living arrangements, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

Support beyond living arrangements

Questions about children often go beyond where they live. We can also advise on parental responsibility, child maintenance, schooling and contact with wider family members, helping you find practical solutions that work long term.
