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. While many people still use the term child custody, the law now refers to child arrangements, focusing on where children live and how they spend time with each parent. We help you understand your options and work towards arrangements that are practical, balanced and centred on your child’s best interests.
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.
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.
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.
