A divorce is difficult for both the parents and their children. During a divorce the welfare of the child will always come first.
Courtyard Family Law Solicitors can help our clients deal with the important issues during a divorce concerning their children: -
There are no fixed rules as to which parent a child should live with. The important thing is that they are in a safe and secure environment and this can be with either parent depending on your particular circumstances. If agreement cannot be reached, then Courtyard Solicitors can help you in relation to the necessary court application which will need to be issued.
If your children are not living with you, Courtyard Family Law Solicitors can help you in trying to reach an agreement with your former partner to enable you to see your children regularly so as to maintain your relationship with them. If an agreement cannot be reached, then we can help you in relation to the necessary court application that will need to be issued.
If you are not married to the other parent of your children, you do not have the same legal rights as if you were married. To make decisions relating to your children's health, education, and welfare, Courtyard Family Law Solicitors can advise you in this respect and prepare a parental responsibility agreement which will give you these rights provided your partner agrees. If agreement cannot be reached, then we can help you in relation to the necessary court application which will need to be issued.
If you have concerns about your child being taken away from you whether it be temporarily or permanently and whether it be within England or outside the country, we can advise you in respect of this and apply for the relevant prohibitive court orders to prevent this. If you have imminent fears, Courtyard Family Law Solicitors can offer you an appointment at short notice and consider making an emergency application at Court.
If your child has been taken out of the country without your consent, we can apply to the Court for an order for their return. We can liaise with lawyers in foreign countries for them to make applications on your behalf if necessary.
If you have specific problems relating to your children for example, your ex-partner will not tell you what school your child is going to, Courtyard Family Law Solicitors can advise you in this respect and make an application at Court if necessary.
If you have been affected by this please don't hesitate to get in touch.
