Divorce and Children
When a marriage or relationship breaks down, parents must decide how their children will be cared for. Many families manage to reach an agreement amicably, but in some cases legal support is needed to resolve disputes or to protect a child’s welfare.
At Capital One Solicitors, our experienced family lawyers provide sensitive, practical advice to help you achieve the best possible arrangements for your children. Where necessary, we can also apply to the court for Child Arrangement Orders to ensure your child’s needs are protected.
Parental Disputes
While most parents try to avoid conflict, disagreements about children are not always preventable. Common issues include:
- Where a child should live.
- How much time they should spend with each parent.
- Decisions about schooling, medical treatment, or relocation.
We believe that parents who fully understand their legal rights and responsibilities are better placed to reach a fair and sensible compromise. Our solicitors guide you through each stage of the process, from informal negotiation to full court proceedings if required.
