I’d like to thank you for your assistance. Your friendly, professional manner has been greatly appreciated particularly with such a sensitive and stressful subject. I’m very pleased I chose your firm.
How can we help?
When you are experiencing problems in your relationship, your children are often your main concern. During a separation, you are still a parent and it is necessary that your child is able to adjust to a new situation with support. It is important that you can find a practical, workable solution in disputes over children that often arise in the process of divorce or separation.
At Brighton & Hove Law, we can work with you to ensure that your child’s needs are prioritised, with the aim of minimising the effects of the separation on their wellbeing. We are experienced in dealing with a wide range of issues relating to children, and recognise the need to deal with them sensitively. Please contact us if you think you need assistance in disputes over your child during this process.
How can any disputes be resolved?
It is better for any dispute about a child to be resolved voluntarily, which is the conclusion we aim to come to. However, it sometimes becomes necessary for issues to be determined by a judge. A court may make an order that will vary dependent on what the dispute is, and we can advise you based on the specific circumstances of your situation. These orders may be:
- Child arrangement order
- Parental responsibility order
- Prohibited steps order
- Specific issue order
- Orders made in relation to a child’s passport
If you think that your child may be at risk of being removed permanently from your jurisdiction, please contact us urgently so emergency prohibited steps orders can be put in place for protection.
If you are involved with social services, or your child is being taken into care, please see elsewhere on our website for more information.
