Child arrangements
Our family solicitors regularly advise and assist parents and grandparents with negotiating child arrangements.
We address parental responsibility issues, practical problems regarding handovers and direct or indirect contact; as well as specific disputes relating to a child’s name, their education and holiday permissions.
We have significant experience in more complex cases regarding relocation overseas, successfully representing parents who seek to move abroad and those trying to prevent relocation.
However, if court intervention is necessary, we have a wealth of experience in representing parents and grandparents in family courts throughout the UK.
